About Hawthorne:
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804, in Salem, Massachu-
setts, where his birthplace is now a museum. William Hathorne, who
emigrated from England in 1630, was the first of Hawthorne's ancestors
to arrive in the colonies. After arriving, William persecuted Quakers.
William's son John Hathorne was one of the judges who oversaw the
Salem Witch Trials. (One theory is that having learned about this, the au-
thor added the "w" to his surname in his early twenties, shortly after
graduating from college.) Hawthorne's father, Nathaniel Hathorne, Sr.,
was a sea captain who died in 1808 of yellow fever, when Hawthorne
was only four years old, in Raymond, Maine.
Hawthorne attended Bowdoin College at the expense of an uncle from
1821 to 1824, befriending classmates Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and
future president Franklin Pierce. While there he joined the Delta Kappa
Epsilon fraternity. Until the publication of his Twice-Told Tales in 1837,
Hawthorne wrote in the comparative obscurity of what he called his
"owl's nest" in the family home. As he looked back on this period of his
life, he wrote: "I have not lived, but only dreamed about living." And yet
it was this period of brooding and writing that had formed, as Malcolm
Cowley was to describe it, "the central fact in Hawthorne's career," his
"term of apprenticeship" that would eventually result in the "richly med-
itated fiction."
Hawthorne was hired in 1839 as a weigher and gauger at the Boston
Custom House. He had become engaged in the previous year to the illus-
trator and transcendentalist Sophia Peabody. Seeking a possible home
for himself and Sophia, he joined the transcendentalist utopian com-
munity at Brook Farm in 1841; later that year, however, he left when he
became dissatisfied with farming and the experiment. (His Brook Farm
adventure would prove an inspiration for his novel The Blithedale Ro-
mance.) He married Sophia in 1842; they moved to The Old Manse in
Concord, Massachusetts, where they lived for three years. There he
wrote most of the tales collected in Mosses from an Old Manse.
Hawthorne and his wife then moved to Salem and later to the
Berkshires, returning in 1852 to Concord and a new home The Wayside,
previously owned by the Alcotts. Their neighbors in Concord included
Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.
Like Hawthorne, Sophia was a reclusive person. She was bedridden
with headaches until her sister introduced her to Hawthorne, after which
her headaches seem to have abated. The Hawthornes enjoyed a long
2
marriage, often taking walks in the park. Sophia greatly admired her
husband's work. In one of her journals, she writes: "I am always so
dazzled and bewildered with the richness, the depth, the... jewels of
beauty in his productions that I am always looking forward to a second
reading where I can ponder and muse and fully take ...

Famous women
Lady Godiva lived in 11th century England and married the Duke Leofric. She saw that the people of Coventry did not have a good life and decided to help them. She made a deal with her husband that if she rode naked on a horse through town, he would lower taxes for the people. When the people heard of her plan, they stayed inside so as not to see her, and the Duke lowered taxes as promised.
