Nathaniel Hawthorne 1804-1864 Many of his stories focus on the history of America (specifically the Puritan era, the social and psychological issues that underlie people’s behavior, heavy use of symbols, a concentration on the darker side of human behavior, and themes such as isolation, obsession and paranoia, guilt, social reform, and redemption. Married and moved to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s grandparents’ old house in Concord, Mass. Thoreau provided a garden. “RD” first published in the United States Magazine and Democratic Review in 1844
