Mosses from an old manse by Nathaniel Hawthorne
"Mosses from an Old Manse" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story collection published in 1846. Named after the house where Hawthorne spent the first years of his marriage, this collection features allegorical tales that explore the darker aspects of human nature. Critics noted the work's pervading "blackness of darkness" beneath its bright surface, with only brief moments of light breaking through. The stories probe moral and psychological depths through Hawthorne's characteristic
symbolic style, creating what contemporaries considered superior to his earlier work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
