Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) diede vita a una narrativa "americana" radicata nei valori originari dei coloni, stilisticamente impeccabile. Dopo la "Lettera scarlatta" tra le opere più interessanti di Hawthorne troviamo la raccolta dei "Racconti narrati due volte" da cui sono tratti questi tre racconti che mostrano una sapiente organizzazione formale; vi troviamo le dicotomie bene-male, intelletto-emotività, ragione-istinto, la tendenza a trovare una ragione morale ai comportamenti umani.

Il romanzo di Bithedale, o di Valgioiosa, o di Valgioconda, pubblicato nel 1852, è il terzo successo di Hawthorne. Ispirandosi agli ideali di Fourier, un gruppo di benestanti "radical-chic" vivono un'esperienza comunitaria in campagna, lavorando la terra e rinunciando al servizio di domestici come era loro abitudine in città. L'autore, che narra in prima persona, diviene spettatore di un triangolo amoroso in cui l'amore non è però l'unico o il principale ingrediente.

Quattro racconti di Nathaniel Hawthorne, caratterizzati dall'essere ai confini della realtà. "Il gran carbonchio", una caccia da una preziosissima pietra, ambientata nel far West; "La statuetta di neve", in cui si mettono in guardia coloro che vogliono far del bene a tutti i costi; "La figura di prua", in cui lo spirito dell'arte passa come una folata angelica, o diabolica, a scelta del lettore; e "La vergine dei veleni", in cui si ribadisce che l'essere amati è da preferire all'essere temuti.
