    Author

    Nathaniel Hawthorne

    Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was an American writer whose work was aligned with the Romantic movement. Much of his output, primarily set in New England, was based on his anti-puritan views. He is a highly regarded writer of short stories, yet his best-known works are his novels, including The Scarlet Letter (1850), The House of Seven Gables (1851), and The Marble Faun (1860). Much of his work features complex and strong female characters and offers deep psychological insights into human morality and social constraints.

      By Nathaniel Hawthorne

      BROWNE'S FOLLY.

      The Wayside, August 28, 1860.

      MY DEAR COUSIN:—I should be very glad to write a story, as you request, for the benefit of the Essex Institute, or for any other purpose that might be deemed desirable by my native townspeople. But it is now many years since the epoch of the Twice-Told Tales, and the Mosses from an Old Manse; and my mind seems to have lost the plan and measure of those little narratives, in which it was once so unprofitably fertile.
