  1. Nathaniel Hawthorne The Writer

  2. After graduating from Bowdoin college, Nathaniel Hawthorne decided to start writing. The first book he wrote was Fanshawe. It did not gain a lot of popularity nor did it bring him any money. He proclaimed himself as not good enough, but he continued to write a good amount of short stories that were somewhat successful (Biography).

  3. For fun in August of September of 1820, Hawthorne gave his family handwritten issues of a newspaper he wrote that he called The Spectator (Nathaniel).

  4. Hawthorne in 1889 was not making enough money just by his writing so he got a job as a Boston custom house measurer. Three years later in 1842 he was relived from his position with the Salem Custom House. He then had enough money to marry Sophia Peabody. He then came back to Salem in 1845 as a surveyor of the Custom House, but was soon fired again (Biography).

  5. Being fired from the surveyor job, Hawthorne used this to his advantage. Afterwards he focused solely on writing The Scarlet Letter his most well known book. Quickly this novel became popular and gained success. This allowed Hawthorne to have a true profession as a writer (Biography).

  6. Nathaniel then proceeded to write many more novels until his death on May 19th 1864. These works included The House of the Seven Gables (1851), The Blithedale Romance, The Marble Faun, plus others (Biography).

  7. Hawthorne struggled in his early career producing few noted works. His was busy keeping to his other job, instead of writing. Mid-life he assumed a new job and had even less time for writing (Nathaniel).
