This file includes: Authors and Friends by Annie Fields, Brook Farm by John Thomas Codman, Hawthorne by Henry James, The Life and Genius of Nathaniel Hawthorne by Frank Preston Stearns, Memories of Hawthorne by Rose Hawthorne lathrop, My Friends at Boork Farm by John van Dee Zee Sears, Nathaniel Hawthorne by George E. Woodberry, Sketches from Concord and Appledore by Frank Preston Stearns, A Study of Hawthorne by George Parsons lathrop, and Yesterdays with Authors by James Fields. According to Wikipedia: "Contemporary response to Hawthorne's work praised his sentimentality and moral purity while more modern evaluations focus on the dark psychological complexity. One of these contemporaries, Edgar Allan Poe, wrote important and largely flattering reviews of both Twice-Told Tales and Mosses from an Old Manse. Poe's negative assessment was partly due to his own contempt of allegory and moral tales, and his chronic accusations of plagiarism, though he admitted, "The style of Hawthorne is purity itself. His tone is singularly effective—wild, plaintive, thoughtful, and in full accordance with his themes... We look upon him as one of the few men of indisputable genius to whom our country has as yet given birth".
