Book cover for Tales and sketches
Description
This volume offers what no reader has ever been able to find-an authoritative edition of all the tales and sketches of Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-64) in a single comprehensive volume. Everything is included from his three books of stories, Twice-told Tales (1837, 1851), Mosses from an Old Manse (1846, 1854), The Snow-Image, and Other Twice-told Tales (1851), from his two books of stories for children based on classical myths, A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys (1852), and Tanglewood Tales (1853), and sixteen stories not found in any of these volumes. The stories are arranged, as they never have been in any other edition, in the order of their periodical publication. Readers of Hawthorne will thereby get a unique sense of how he became one of the most powerful and experimental writers of American fiction.
