Summary "The Life and Genius of Nathaniel Hawthorne" by Frank Preston Stearns is a biographical account written in the late 19th century that explores the life, experiences, and literary achievements of Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of America's revered authors. The book not only delves into Hawthorne's personal history but also seeks to provide critical insights into his literary genius, highlighting the influences that shaped his works and character. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing Salem, Massachusetts, a significant location in Hawthorne's life and ancestry. It details the historical significance of Salem and introduces readers to the Hathorne family lineage, from early settlers to the impacts of the Salem witchcraft trials, which resonate in Hawthorne's later writings. The text also provides context regarding Hawthorne's ancestors' roles within the community, particularly with regards to the colonial period. This foundation allows for a deeper understanding of the environment in which Hawthorne was born and raised, ultimately framing the narrative of his subsequent life and literary pursuits.
