Author

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) is one of the founding masters of American literature — a novelist and short-story writer who made New England's Puritan past into a living moral drama. The Scarlet Letter remains his masterpiece: a study of guilt, secrecy, and public shame that still feels unsettlingly modern.
