A critical vantage point from which to see Hawthorne's career as a whole--his artistic rise, triumph, and final works

The Portable Hawthorne includes writings from each major stage in the career of Nathaniel Hawthorne: a number of his most intriguing early tales, all of The Scarlet Letter, excerpts from his three subsequently published romances--The House of Seven Gables, The Blithedale Romance, and The Marble Faun--as well as passages from his European journals and a sampling of his last, unfinished works.

The editor's introduction and notes trace the evolution of Hawthorne's writing over the course of his long career: from the tales, to their apotheosis in The Scarlet Letter, through his popular romances, to his private journals and frustrated attempts at another romance.
