A VERY EARLY PRINTING AND IN VERY NICE CONDITION.<br> Italy was the site of this one of Hawthorne’s most popular books. Of it the writer said “No author without a trial can conceive of the difficulty of writing a romance about a country where there is no shadow no antiquity no mystery no picturesque and gloomy wrong nor anything but a commonplace prosperity in broad and simple daylight as is happily the case with my dear native land. It will be very long I trust before romance-writers may find congenial and easily handled themes either in the annals of our stalwart republic or in any characteristic and probable events of our individual lives. Romance and poetry ivy lichens and wall-flowers need ruin to make them grow.â€<br> John Lothrop Motley wrote to Hawthorne that " I like those shadowy weird fantastic Hawthornesque shapes flitting through the golden gloom which is the atmosphere of the book. I like the misty way in which the story is indicated rather than revealed. The outlines are quite definite enough from the beginning to the end to those who have imagination enough to follow you in your airy flights; and to those who complain I suppose nothing less than an illustrated edition with a large gallows on the last page with Donatello in the most pensive of attitudes his ears revealed at last through a white nightcap would be satisfactory." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called it a "wonderful book" and William Dean Howells wrote that it would ".yield him that full honor and praise which a writer can hope for but once in his life.

ONE OF HAWTHORNE'S MOST POPULAR BOOKS AND A CENTRAL CLASSICS OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE AND ARGUABLY THE QUINTESSENTIAL OF AMERICAN GOTHIC. THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES is a pillar of American Renaissance literature and was a major influence on later authors of both the horror and mystery genres in fact it continues to be influential even today.<br> Written during the most lucrative period of the author's career the novel centers on a New England family and their ancestral home. The setting was inspired by the Turner-Inglersoll Mansion a dark and rather moody gabled house in Salem Massachusetts which still stands today and offers very popular tours. While set in Hawthorne's time the novel searches history and reaches back to discern the life that occurred through the years. The house in Hawthorne's tales is presented as a gloomy mansion haunted since its construction by unscrupulous dealings accusations of witchcraft and death.<br> The House of the Seven Gables was released in April of 1851. Two printings were issued in the first month a third in May and a fourth in September 1851; totaling 6710 copies in its first year. Hawthorne earned 15% in royalties from the $1.00 cover price. After its publication Hawthorne said "It sold finely and seems to have pleased a good many people." His friend Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called it "a weird wild book" and it met with extreme popularity not only in America but also in England where it was viewed as kin to Jane Eyre. British critic Henry Chorley noted that with THE SCARLET LETTER and THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES "few will dispute Hawthorne's claim to rank amongst the most original and complete novelists that have appeared in modern times.

A lovely copy. FIRST EDITION AND FIRST ISSUE and a very scarce Hawthorne title in such fine condition. An uncommonly bright and fresh copy.<br> Hawthorne's "romance' was based on Brook Farm a community farm near Boston. It examines what progress if any has been made to the human animal. Blithedale like Brook Farm was a would-be modern Arcadia along the lines of the anti-capitalist ideals of Charles Fourier but in spite of the lofty ideals falls prey to the self-interested behavior of its members. Though this concept for a work of fiction may sound a bit heady Henry James called it "the lightest the brightest the liveliest" of Hawthorne's "fictions." Hawthorne’s claim that the characters of the novel are “entirely fictitious†has been widely questioned and many suggest that Bronson Alcott Emerson Horace Mann Margaret Fuller and Hawthorne himself can all be found in this novel.

FIRST EDITION AND PRINTING OF HAWTHORNE'S WRITINGS ON ENGLAND A WORK WHICH INCLUDES SOME OF THE AUTHOR'S BEST NONFICTION WORK .<br> The years which Hawthorne passed in England were outwardly the most successful in worldly prosperity the most abundant and in other respects among the happiest of his life; forming in the autumn of his career a sort of counterpoise to the idyllic period spent at the Old Manse. Of these years--from the spring of 1853 to June of 1860 excepting a part of 1858 and 1859 which interval was chiefly spent in Italy--"Our Old Home" was the literary outcome. Much of the material composing the sketches in this volume occurs in embryonic form in the "English Note-Books" which were then still veiled from publicity; but various elements and touches of fancy were supplied by the author's mood or memory at the instant of writing. His impressions of England outlined in the "Note-Books" and scattered at random through many pages here assume a connected and artistic shape. Ticknor and Fields hardcover

FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING OF THIS EARLY AND QUITE SCARCE HAWTHORNE TITLE RARELY ENCOUNTERED IN FULL FIRST STATE FORMAT. Hawthorne spent three years in the Old Manse in Concord. The Old Manse is a historic manse famous for its American literary associations. It is now owned and operated as a nonprofit museum by the Trustees of Reservations. In 1842 the American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne rented the Old Manse for $100 a year. He moved in with his wife transcendentalist Sophia Peabody. Prior to their arrival at the Manse Henry David Thoreau created a vegetable garden for the couple. The Hawthornes lived in the house for three years. Previously the manse had been home to Ralph Waldo Emerson.<br> MOSSES FROM AN OLD MANSE is the best and most important of the three literary collections Hawthorne published during his lifetime. Many of the tales are allegories and as in much of Hawthorne's best works focus on the negative side of human nature. Herman Melville a close friend of Hawthorne noted this aspect in his review of it-- "This black conceit pervades him through and through. You may be witched by his sunlight—transported by the bright gildings in the skies he builds over you; but there is the blackness of darkness beyond; and even his bright gildings but fringe and play upon the edges of thunder-clouds.
