Synopsis

This book is the first-ever selected edition of Nathaniel Hawthorne's letters--169 personal letters and eight letters written while Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American consul. Myerson carefully selected letters focusing on Hawthorne's relationship with famous people of the day: letters written to his wife, Sophia; letters describing everyday life in Salem, Boston, Concord, Britain, France, and Italy; letters in which Hawthorne comments on contemporary literature and his career as an author; and letters that reveal Hawthorne's thoughts and beliefs. Myerson's single-volume Selected Letters of Nathaniel Hawthorne is a welcome addition to the twenty-three-volume Centenary Edition of the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne (OSU Press)

About this title

Review

"This is a very fine, representative selection of Nathaniel Hawthorne's letters to make up a strong, aptly done Selected Letters edition. It is most fitting that The Ohio State University Press be the publisher of this single volume, reader-friendly edition of Hawthorne's letters to complement the six volumes of the Centenary Edition."

"A carefully edited, well chosen volume of Hawthorne's letters."
