Description
Described by Herman Melville as being "as deep as Dante", 'Young Goodman Brown' is set during the Salem witch trials and features the sort of narrative ambiguities and troubling uncertainties over the reality of events that Hawthorne was known for, and which resurface in 'Rappaccini's Daughter' - also included in this volume - leading the readers to ponder what they have read long after the last page has been turned.
About the Author
Inspired by the Puritan past of his native New England, Nathaniel Hawthorne became a pivotal figure in the history of American literature, notably with his masterpiece, The Scarlet Letter.
Reviews
He has the purest style, the finest taste... the most touching pathos, the most radiant imagination. -- Edgar Allan Poe
