The American Notebooks of Nathaniel Hawthorne

by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Overview

This is the best of the workbooks that Hawthorne wrote. The sketches of stories, phrases, raw arguments and descriptions found in this book are, in addition to literary pieces with their own value, a source of masterful ideas from which many writers drank. For this edition we include as an appendix a no less valuable selection of fragments belonging to the "English Notebooks", the newspapers that the American writer kept during his stay in England.
