Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Eric Eldred, Tonya Allen, Charles Franks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Study of Hawthorne" by George Parsons Lathrop is a literary essay written during the late 19th century. This work focuses on the life and artistry of Nathaniel Hawthorne, examining his background, influences, and the unique character of his literary genius. Rather than serving as a traditional biography, Lathrop presents a more subjective portrait inspired by his own insights and sympathies towards Hawthorne’s life, emphasizing both personal and historical contexts that shaped the author’s renowned works. The opening of the text introduces the author’s intent, stating that the study is not a biography but a conceptual portrait of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Lathrop expresses a desire to synthesize Hawthorne's life experiences, particularly his roots in Salem, and how these influenced his literary output. He reflects on the Puritan heritage that shaped the culture of Hawthorne's time, acknowledging how the town's history of religious fervor and superstition contributed to Hawthorne's literary themes. Lathrop further delves into the early influences on Hawthorne's character and writing style, suggesting that his melancholic disposition and imaginative depth were responses in part to his family's lineage and the weight of their past.
