Sketches from Memory (From "Mosses from an Old Manse")

by Hawthorne, Nathaniel, 1804-1864

"Sketches from Memory (From 'Mosses from an Old Manse')" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a sketch included in a short story collection published in 1846. This piece appears among Hawthorne's allegorical tales that explore the darker aspects of human nature. Added to the second edition in 1854, it represents work from Hawthorne's earlier period—writing he later admitted he no longer fully understood. The collection earned praise for its depth, though critics noted its pervading darkness with only fleeting moments of brightness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
