Hawthorne’s son-in-law offers not a formal biography but a portrait of the writer and his mind. He follows Hawthorne from Salem and Bowdoin College, through the solitary years behind the Twice-Told Tales, Brook Farm and the Old Manse, to the triumph of The Scarlet Letter and the later years at Lenox, Concord, in England and Italy.
