The wrongdoing of one generation lives into the successive ones...

Family History His great-great-grandfather, William Hathorne, ordered the whipping of Anne Coleman and four others in the streets of Salem. His great-grandfather, John Hathorne, was the magistrate presiding over the trial of the accused witches of Salem (1692).

Childhood Born July 4, 1804 in Salem, MA Father died when Hawthorne was four years old Sent to private school once his relatives discovered his storytelling abilities Sent to Bowdoin College in Maine

College Classmates included Franklin Pierce and Henry Longfellow Pierce- future President of the USA Longfellow- poet, educator, linguist Graduated in 1825

Reclusive He first anonymously published short stories and a novel, Fanshawe. Hawthorne later formally withdrew most of this early work, discounting it as the work of inexperienced youth. He burned most of his works from these years.

Back into Society Editor for The American Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge in 1836 Appointed to the Boston Custom House in 1839 Became engaged to Sophia Peabody, married in 1842

Concord After his marriage to Sophia, moved to the Old Manse in Concord. Joined the writing circles of Thoreau, Emerson, and Louisa May Alcott. The Transcendentalists believed that human existence transcended the sensory realm, and rejected formalism in favor of individual intuition and imagination.

The Custom House Between 1846 and 1849 he served as a surveyor of the Salem Custom House. He was ousted from that job in 1849, when the incoming political party, The Whigs, fired him to put in their own political appointees Hawthorne wrote a biography for Presidential candidate Pierce for his campaign. Pierce had attended college with Hawthorne. President Pierce then appointed Hawthorne to serve as the US Consul to Liverpool, England.

Influences His early childhood in Salem and work in the Salem Custom House. His Puritan family background. He believed in the existence of the devil. He believed in determinism, a theory of predestination
