His ancestors include John Hathorne, a judge during the Salem Witch Trials. Nathaniel later added a "w" to make his name "Hawthorne". He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824,[1] and graduated in 1825. Hawthorne anonymously published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828. He published several short stories in various periodicals which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at a Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to The Wayside in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, leaving behind his wife and their three children. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Much of Hawthorne's writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his friend Franklin Pierce. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> __<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Henry James: __ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">James is one of the major figures of trans-Atlantic literature. His works frequently juxtapose characters from the Old World (Europe), embodying a feudal civilization that is beautiful, often corrupt, and alluring, and from the New World (United States), where people are often brash, open, and assertive and embody the virtues—freedom and a more highly evolved moral character—of the new American society. James explores this clash of personalities and cultures, in stories of personal relationships in which power is exercised well or badly.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> __<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Joseph Conrad: __ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Conrad, an emotional man subject to fits of depression, self-doubt, and pessimism, disciplined his romantic temperament with an unsparing moral judgment. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As an artist, he famously aspired, in his preface to The Nigger of the 'Narcissus' (1897), "by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel... before all, to make you see. That — and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm — all you demand — and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask." <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Writing in what to the visual arts was the age of Impressionism, Conrad showed himself in many of his works a prose poet of the highest order. For instance, in the evocative Patna and courtroom scenes of Lord Jim; in the "melancholy-mad elephant" and gunboat scenes of Heart of Darkness; in the doubled protagonists of The Secret Sharer; and in the verbal and conceptual resonances of Nostromo and The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Joyce's Irish experiences constitute an essential element of his writings, and provide all of the settings for his fiction and much of its subject matter. His early volume of short stories, Dubliners, is a penetrating analysis of the stagnation and paralysis of Dublin society. The stories incorporate epiphanies, a word used particularly by Joyce, by which he meant a sudden consciousness of the "soul" of a thing. The final and most famous story in the collection, "The Dead", was directed by John Huston as his last feature film in 1987. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> __<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ernest Hemingway: __ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The New York Times wrote in 1926 of Hemingway's first novel: "No amount of analysis can convey the quality of The Sun Also Rises. It is a truly gripping story, told in a lean, hard, athletic narrative prose that puts more literary English to shame". The Sun Also Rises is written in the spare, tightly written prose, for which Hemingway is famous; a style that has influenced countless crime and pulp fiction novels. In 1954, when Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, it was for "his mastery of the art of narrative, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea, and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style."

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> __<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">F. Scott Fitzgerald: __ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigm writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.[1] Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and his most famous, The Great Gatsby. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Novels such as The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night were made into films, and in 1958 his life from 1937–1940 was dramatized in Beloved Infidel. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> __<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">William Faulkner: __ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">From the early 1920s to the outbreak of World War II, when Faulkner left for California, he published 13 novels and numerous short stories. This body of work formed the basis of his reputation and led to him being awarded the Nobel Prize at age 52. This prodigious output, mainly driven by an obscure writer's need for money, includes his most celebrated novels such as The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Light in August (1932), and Absalom, Absalom! (1936). Faulkner was also a prolific writer of short stories.
