Nathaniel Hawthorne : Tales and Sketches (Library of America): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Nathaniel Hawthorne : Tales and Sketches (Library of America)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Tales and Sketches offers what no reader has ever been able to find--an authoritative edition of Hawthornes complete stories in a single comprehensive volume. Here is everything from his three collections, Twice-told Tales, Mosses from an Old Manse, The Snow-Image, and Other Twice-told Tales, his two books of stories for children based on classical myths, A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys and Tanglewood Tales, and sixteen uncollected stories. The unique arrangement by order of publication charts Hawthornes evolution into one of the most powerful and experimental writers of American fiction. From familiar but always surprising works like Young Goodman Brown, to masterly fables like My Kinsman, Major Molineux, to lesser known gems like The Wives of the Dead, these haunting stories of love and guilt, of duty and licence, of the fateful ties of family and nation, show why Hawthorne is a great artist, and an astonishingly contemporary one.
