Publisher's Summary:
Many of the tales collected in "Mosses from an Old Manse" are allegories and, typical of Hawthorne, focus on the negative side of human nature. Hawthorne's friend Herman Melville noted this aspect in his review about Hawthorne and his "Mosses": "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." William Henry Channing noted in his review of the collection that its author "had been baptized in the deep waters of Tragedy", and his work was dark with only brief moments of "serene brightness" which was never brighter than "dusky twilight".

Members Reviews:
A timeless and incomparable love-story, born of a place and time.
This writing is a clear voice speaking from out of the early 1840's, when love was new, their lives were charmed, and a greatness in literature was before Nathaniel and Sophia. 170 years later, we are changed by them, and still mesmerized by the living sense scratched into the windowpane by Sophia's wedding ring, that evening bathed in the color of a glorious sunset.
