Following on the heels of The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables was intended to be a far sunnier book than its predecessor and one that would illustrate "the folly" of tumbling down on posterity "an avalanche of ill-gotten gold, or real estate." Many critics have faulted the novel for its explaining away of hereditary guilt or its contradictory denial of it. Denis Donoghue instructs the reader in a fresh appreciation of the novel.The John Harvard Library edition reproduces the authoritative text of The House of the Seven Gables in the Centenary Edition of the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nasceu em Salem, nos EUA, em 1804. Aos quatro anos, ficou órfão de pai, um capitão da marinha. Em 1825, termina os estudos na Universidade de Bowdoin. Três anos depois, publica o primeiro romance, Fanshawe, que rejeitará. Em 1845, é nomeado inspetor de Alfândega, tendo sido destituído, por motivos políticos, quatro anos depois. Entre 1853 e 1857, é cônsul em Liverpool. Antes de regressar aos EUA e de se dedicar em exclusivo à escrita, vive durante um ano e meio em Itália. Morreu em 1864. Entre as suas obras, destacam-se os romances The House of the Seven Gables (1851) The Marble Faun (1860), bem como as recolhas de contos, Twice-Told Tales (1837), que o tornou conhecido do público, ou Mosses from an Old Manse (1846).
