I've never understood the appeal of Hawthorne's starchy prose and tin ear for dialogue. If Henry James hadn't propped him up at the right time I wonder if he would be remembered at all.

How interesting. I admit I'd rather read a biography of Hawthorne than his fiction, though. I guess I was stuned by having to deal with "The Scarlet Letter" in junior high!

They were a beautiful couple, and it's nice to think of them being together finally, as they loved to be in life. I hope this works, I've never posted pictures here before:

Interesting that this article leaves out any mention of the second child, son Julian.
Probably because he did time . . . lent his name to a fraudulent mining scheme, IIRC. But he paid his debt to society.
