’Twice-Told Tales’ is a collection of short stories written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, first published in 1837. The title refers to the fact that many of these tales had been previously published in periodicals before being compiled into this collection. Set in New England and often exploring themes of sin, guilt, and the supernatural, these stories are characterized by Hawthorne’s rich prose and exploration of the darker aspects of human nature.
The collection includes notable stories such as 'The Minister’s Black Veil, ’ which examines the concept of secret sin, and 'Young Goodman Brown, ’ a tale of a man’s encounter with the devil in the woods. Other stories delve into themes of isolation, obsession, and the consequences of past actions.
Overall, 'Twice-Told Tales’ showcases Hawthorne’s mastery of the short story form and his ability to weave intricate narratives that explore the complexities of the human psyche
