Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fanshawe is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, first published anonymously in 1828. The story follows the life of a young man named Fanshawe, who attends Harvard University and falls in love with a fellow student named Ellen Langton. However, their romance is cut short when Fanshawe suddenly disappears without a trace.Years later, Ellen marries another man and moves on with her life, but Fanshawe's memory continues to haunt her. She eventually discovers that he has been living in seclusion under a different name, and the two are reunited. However, their reunion is short-lived, as Fanshawe soon dies of a mysterious illness.The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the consequences of one's actions. It also includes elements of Gothic fiction, such as supernatural occurrences and dark, brooding characters.Fanshawe is considered to be one of Hawthorne's lesser-known works, as he later disavowed it and attempted to have all copies destroyed. However, it remains a fascinating glimpse into the early career of one of America's greatest writers.Doctor Melmoth, at the time when he is to be intro- duced to the reader, had borne the matrimonial yoke (and in his case it was no light burthen) nearly twenty years. The blessing of children, however, had been de- nied him, -- a circumstance which he was accustomed to consider as one of the sorest trials that chequered his path way; for he was a man of a kind and affectionate heart, that was continually seeking objects to rest itself upon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
