Summary "The Complete Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Appendix to Volume XII: Tales, Sketches, and Other Papers" is a collection of narratives and essays written in the mid-19th century. This volume is part of a comprehensive set that showcases Hawthorne's literary contributions, including unique tales and sketches that delve into themes of morality, human nature, and the complexities of society. The artistically illustrated edition also features a biographical sketch by George Parsons Lathrop, which adds depth to the understanding of Hawthorne's life and works. The opening portion of the collection presents a detailed biographical context for Nathaniel Hawthorne, tracing his ancestry and early life in Salem, Massachusetts. It provides insights into his family background, highlighting the influence of his parents and the Salem witch trials on his formative years. The narrative describes Hawthorne's childhood experiences, his early education, and his literary aspirations, painting a picture of a sensitive and introspective boy shaped by loss and solitude. This initial exploration not only establishes Hawthorne's character but also sets the tone for the rich and varied tales that follow in the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
