Biographie : Né à Salem en 1804, mort à Plymouth en 1864. Romancier et nouvelliste, descendant d'une famille puritaine qui avait pris une part active à la chasse aux sorcières au XVII¿ et plus tard à la persécution des Quakers. Ce lourd passé constitue le thème majeur de toute l'oeuvre de Hawthorne.
