Twice-Told Tales
"Twice-Told Tales" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story collection published in two volumes in 1837 and 1842. These previously anonymous stories, originally published in magazines and annuals, showcase Hawthorne's distinctive voice and literary artistry. The collection drew praise from literary figures like Longfellow, who called it a work of genius, though it initially struggled commercially. Edgar Allan Poe recognized Hawthorne's originality while critiquing his use of allegory, ultimately declaring him a writer of "indisputable genius." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
