This 1890 biography contains a chronological telling of the ancestors, birth, education, works, and personal life of the great American writer. Conway begins, “Hawthorne, through his peculiar sensibility shrank from men, loved mankind, and described his earliest writings as ‘attempts to open an intercourse with the world.’”
عن المؤلف
Moncure Daniel Conway (1832-1907) was an American abolitionist, clergyman, and author associated with the transcendentalists. His antislavery views made him anathema in his native Virginia. After the outbreak of the Civil War, he rescued many of his father’s slaves and wrote books and articles pleading for emancipation. He was ultimately estranged from America because of his pacifist views and spent many years in England and France.
