Om forfatteren
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts. When he was four years old, his father died. Years later, with financial help from his maternal relatives who recognized his literary talent, Hawthorne was able to enroll in Bowdoin College. Among his classmates were the vis mere important literary and political figures Horatio Bridge, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Franklin Pierce. These friends supplied Hawthorne with employment during the early years after graduation while Hawthorne was still establishing himself as a legitimate author. Hawthorne's first novel, Fanshawe, which he self-published in 1828, wasn't quite the success that he had hoped it would be. Not willing to give up, he began writing stories for Twice-Told Tales. These stories established Hawthorne as a leading writer. In 1842, Hawthorne moved to Concord, Massachusetts, where he wrote a number of tales, including "Rappaccini's Daughter" and "Young Goodman Brown," that were later published as Mosses from an Old Manse. The overall theme of Hawthorne's novels was a deep concern with ethical problems of sin, punishment, and atonement. No one novel demonstrated that more vividly than The Scarlet Letter. This tale about the adulterous Puritan Hester Prynne is regarded as Hawthorne's best work and is a classic of American literature. Other famous novels written by Hawthorne include The House of Seven Gables and The Blithedale Romance. In 1852, Hawthorne wrote a campaign biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce. After Pierce was elected as President of the United States, he rewarded Hawthorne with the Consulship at Liverpool, England. Hawthorne died in his sleep on May 19, 1864, while on a trip with Franklin Pierce. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre
Disambiguation Notice:
(eng) Hawthorne added the 'w' to his last name out of guilt and shame due to the fact that his ancestor was Judge Hathorne at the famous Salem Witch Trials.

- Kort biografi
- Nathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer. His works often focus on history, morality, and religion.
He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824, and graduated in 1825. He published his first work in 1828, the novel Fanshawe; he later tried to suppress it, feeling that it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children.
Much of Hawthorne's writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral metaphors with an anti-Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States. - Oplysning om flertydighed
- Hawthorne added the 'w' to his last name out of guilt and shame due to the fact that his ancestor was Judge Hathorne at the famous Salem Witch Trials.

I åbningsscenen møder vi fire venner i Rom, hvor de er ude at se på kunst. Hilda er fra New England og hun bruger sin tid på at være moralsk renskuret, kopiere de gamle mestres malerier og passe en hellig flamme i sin lejlighed - kort sagt et helt igennem religiøst liv med ringe blik for tilværelsens kompleksitet. Hendes veninde Miriams baggrund er mere uklar, men hun er lidenskabelig og mere optaget af at male sine egne værker end af at kopiere detaljer. Hun er også forfulgt af en mørk fortid, som bliver romanens dramatiske drivkraft. Kenyon er billedhugger fra Amerika. Han er forelsket i Hilda, men han er mere åben over for verdens sammensathed, og som mand er han selvfølgelig (!) også mere erfaren. Velsagtens er han vel også Hawthorne i forklædning. Endelig er der Donatello, en ung italiener, som de sammenligner med en faun - dvs. en magisk naturens søn fra den oprindelige guldalder og altså fra tiden før syndefaldet. Som sådan spejler han Hilda, men han er samtidig lidenskabeligt forelsket i Miriam.
Under en udflugt til katakomberne sker der noget mystisk. Miriam forsvinder fra dem, og da hun dukker op er det i selskab med en mystisk skikkelse, som forsvinder inden de andre når at se ham an. I de kommende dage opsøges hun igen og igen af ham. De har tydeligvis en fortid sammen, og hans genkomst er både skæbnebestemt og katastrofal for hende. Skal hun tale med sine venner, skal hun stikke af og gå under jorden påny? I stedet prøver Donatello at beskytte hende, og sammen myrder de plageånden ved at smide ham ud fra en klippe.
Hilda overværer forbrydelsen, og resten af romanen handler om konsekvenserne af den. Donatello flygter hjem til sit slot, hvor Kenyon finder ham forandret. Han er plaget af dårlig samvittighed, og hans tidligere samhørighed med naturen er tabt. Men han vokser også, for i sidste ende gør mødet med ondskaben ham til et mere komplet menneske.
Hilda, derimod, går nærmest i opløsning. Hun kan slet ikke leve med den forbrydelse, som hun har været vidne til, og hendes eneste svar som moralens vogter er at bryde alle forbindelser til Miriam. Selvom alle på overfladen accepterer denne konsekvente handling, så står den i et tvetydigt skær. Er det egentlig næstekærligt ikke at forstå og tilgive sine venner? Er det menneskeligt at leve uden nogen forståelse for livets mærke sider? Det gives der aldrig svar på, og den tvetydighed er i sig selv interessant, når den kommer fra Hawthorne.
I stedet indvarsler romanen det internationale spor i amerikansk litteratur, hvor den komplekse spejling af den nye verdens energi i den gamle verdens (dekadente) kultur og historie er i centrum.
Der er mange fine kapitler i romanen, men der er også meget åh! og min sjæl! som godt kan blive lidt langtrukkent, og så skal man selvfølgelig trækkes med 1800-tallets kvindesyn. Selvom Hilda ikke er et rent ideal, så hylder Hawthorne hendes kunstneriske valg:
"Would it have been worth Hilda's while to relinquish this office for the sake of giving the world a picture or two which it would call original; pretty fancies of snow and moonlight; the counterpart in picture of so many feminine achievements in litterature!"
Hawthorne er selvfølgelig et barn af sin tid og bla, bla, bla - han også en klaphat der elsker at generalisere om alt fra kvinder til italienske bønder og katolikker.
Det er nu ikke romanens største problem. Selvom jeg nød sproget og glad fulgte personerne på deres udflugter og i deres diskussioner, så var der simpelthen for mange løse ender i plottet til at læsningen var rigtig tilfredsstillende. Miriams forhistorie fortælles kun i forblommede vendinger, og andre handlingselementer står endnu mere mystiske tilbage. Mange mesterværker har huller i den indre sammenhæng, men her får det mest af alt historien til at fremstå uforløst.… (mere)
