Ko ōna tīpuna ko John Hathorne, ko te kaiwhakawa anake i uru ki ngā whakawakanga o te kaitiaki o Salem, kāore anō ia kia ripeneta i āna mahi. I uru ia ki te Whare Wananga o Bowdoin i te tau 1821, i pootihia ki Phi Beta Kappa i te tau 1824, ka mutu i te tau 1825. I whakaputaina e ia tana mahi tuatahi i te tau 1828, te pukapuka Fanshawe; i muri mai ka ngana ia ki te whakakore i a ia, i te whakaaro kaore i rite ki te paerewa o ana mahi o muri mai. He maha nga korero poto i whakaputaina e ia i roto i nga pukapuka, i kohia e ia i te 1837 hei Twice-Told Tales. I te tau e whai ake nei, ka whakaipoipo ia ki a Sophia Peabody. I mahi ia i te Whare Ritenga o Boston ka uru atu ki Brook Farm, he hapori whakawhiti, i mua i tana marena ki a Peabody i te 1842. I neke te tokorua ki The Old Manse i Concord, Massachusetts, i muri mai ka neke ki Salem, nga Berkshires, ka neke ki The Wayside i Concord. I whakaputaina te Scarlet Letter i te 1850, i whai ake i etahi atu pukapuka. I tangohia e Hawthorne me te whanau ki Uropi i mua i to raatau hokinga ki Concord i te tau 1860. I mate a Hawthorne i te Mei 19, 1864, a ka ora tana wahine me a raatau tamariki tokotoru.  Pātai: He aha te ihirangi o Ngā Kōrero e Rua?
