The Portable Hawthorne includes writings from each major stage in the career of Nathaniel Hawthorne: a number of his most intriguing early tales, all of The Scarlet Letter, excerpts from his three subsequently published romances—The House of Seven Gables, The Blithedale Romance, and The Marble Faun—as well as passages from his European journals and a sampling of his last, unfinished works. The editor’s introduction and head notes trace the evolution of Hawthorne’s writing over the course of his long career: from the tales, to their apotheosis in The Scarlet Letter, through his popular romances, to his private journals and frustrated attempts at another romance. Readers looking for a critical vantage point from which to see Hawthorne whole—his artistic rise, triumph, and sad decline—can find it in this collection.

      Penguin is updating many of its original -Portable - series titles with fine new editions. This second revised Hawthorne is not just a face-lift on the original collection assembled by Malcolm Cowley in the 1940s but a new compilation by editor William C. Spengemann and covers the author's full career. If your existing "Portable Hawthorne" is looking a little ragged, now's the time to replace it.
