The Dolliver Romance is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The story is set in the fictional town of Bellingham, Massachusetts, and revolves around a wealthy and influential family called the Dollivers. The patriarch of the family, Mr. Dolliver, has a mysterious past that is hinted at throughout the book. The story follows the lives of his children, particularly his daughter, Priscilla, who is described as a beautiful and intelligent young woman.The novel explores themes of love, family, and the search for identity. It also delves into the supernatural, with the appearance of a mysterious figure known as the Veiled Lady. The Veiled Lady is said to have the power to grant wishes, but at a great cost. The Dolliver family becomes entangled in the Veiled Lady's web, and their lives are forever changed.The book was originally published posthumously in 1864, and was not well-received by critics at the time. However, it has since gained a following and is considered an important work in Hawthorne's oeuvre. The Dolliver Romance is a complex and intriguing novel that offers a glimpse into the mind of one of America's greatest writers.Little Pansie was the one earthly creature that inherited a drop of the Dolliver blood. The Doctor's only child, poor Bessie's offspring, had died the better part of a hundred years before, and his grandchildren, a numerous and dimly remembered brood, had vanished along his weary track in their youth, maturity, or incipient age, till, hardly knowing, how it had all happened, he found himself tottering onward with an infant's small fingers in his nerveless grasp. So mistily did his dead progeny come and go in the patriarch's decayed recollection, that this solitary child represented for him the successive babyhoods of the many that had gone before.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
