| Summary | "Passages from the English Notebooks, Complete" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a collection of journal entries written during the mid-19th century. This work reflects Hawthorne's observations and experiences while living in England, capturing details of his daily life, interactions, and his thoughts on various subjects, including culture, society, and humanity. The notebooks serve as a window into Hawthorne's mind, showcasing his keen insights and reflections on the world around him while avoiding a biography that he preferred would not be told by others. The opening of the collection introduces us to Hawthorne's initial months in England as he navigates his role as U.S. Consul in Liverpool. Through his entries, we witness his encounters with various individuals, such as the Vice-Consul Mr. Pearce and local dignitaries, alongside his reflections on the weather, social dynamics, and cultural observations. He notes interactions ranging from the mundane, like discussing receipts from the previous day, to more profound impressions of English life, including the lively assembly of townsfolk and the stark realities of poverty he encounters in his daily travels. Hawthorne's thoughtful prose blends personal narrative with astute observations that reveal both the charm and complexities of the English landscape and its people.
