About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by John Constable, Asher Brown Durand and Thomas Lawrence. A quiet college in the American woods, a girl left in the care of its president, and a man who comes to take her away — with a student who loves her and will not say so. Hawthorne published this anonymously at twenty-four, at his own expense, then bought back and burned every copy he could find; it was not reprinted until after his death. Read it as the first, uncertain sketch of everything he did later. Fifty-eight plates of woodland and forest landscape painting, from Durand to Munch, run through the book like the New England woods that surround the college.
