Excerpt:
"It contributes greatly towards a man's moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate." (The Custom House, The Scarlet Letter)
The Scarlet Letter is an 1850 romantic work of fiction in a historical setting, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, Massachusetts during the years 1642 to 1649, it tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an affair and struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. Throughout the book, Hawthorne explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt.
American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804-1864) writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.

Über Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) wurde als Spross einer alten puritanischen Familie in Salem, Massachusetts geboren. Sein Vater starb, als er vier Jahre alt war. Nach seinem Studium arbeitete er zunächst als Journalist, später im Zollamt von Boston. Seinen ersten Roman veröffentlichte er 1828. 1841 schloss er sich den Transzendentalisten an, einer Gruppierung um Henry D. Thoreau und Ralph Waldo Emerson, die eine naturverbundene, antimaterialistische Gesllschaftsordnung anstrebte. Er lebte vorübergehend in der sozialutopischen Brook-Farm-Kommune, beendete das Experiment jedoch nach einem halben Jahr. 1853 wurde er amerikanischer Konsul in Liverpool und lebte bis 1860 mit seiner Familie in Europa.
