Why does everyone, from American high schoolers to Yuropoors, hate Hawthorne?

What’s to hate? Is the subject matter dated or dull?

Honestly Hawthorne's greatest misfortune is living in the same generation as Melville, who is for sure the greatest American author ever

Lovecraft liked him iirc, not that that's necessarily a badge of honour

Reminder that Hawthorne had a real bromance with infamous President Franklin Pierce, with Pierce being with Hawthorne when he died. Makes me think that Pierce was in the wrong profession. Really someone should have wrote a novel about it because it does seem like a very mid-century American story.

Bump; three cheers for butters erotica

>> No.18686588

Honest answer? It’s because high schoolers read The Scarlet Letter in a way that has it presented as just another bit of the feminist canon that they’re going to proceed to have jammed down their throat for the next 3 years.

Is he really though? Moby Dick is certainly one of the greatest books ever written by an American, maybe in the English language, but the rest of his body of work is unremarkable. Personally, I think the greatest American author ever, for sure, is Poe.

While I'd disagree about Poe being the best, I do like him and especially respect his versatility. Why is he so unpopular (or at least divisive and critically disregarded in the English-speaking world).?

They were forced to read the Scarlet Letter in school. I was home schooled and this never happened to me; read House of the Seven Gables of my own volition and I have nothing but good feelings for the man. Went to visit the actual house once.
