| Publisher Description: In 1828, three years after graduating from Bowdoin College, Hawthorne published his first romance, "Fanshawe." made little or no impression on the public. The motto on the title-page of the original was from Southey: "Wilt thou go on with me?" Afterwards, when he had struck into the vein of fiction that came to be known as distinctively his own, he attempted to suppress this youthful work, and was so successful that he obtained and destroyed all but a few of the copies then extant. Some twelve years after his death it was resolved, in view of the interest manifested in tracing the growth of his genius from the beginning of his activity as an author, to revive this youthful romance; and the reissue of "Fanshawe" was then made. |
