Mosses from an Old Manse was a short story collection by Nathaniel Hawthorne, first published in 1846.
[edit] Background and publication history
The collection included several previously-published short stories and was named in honor of The Old Manse where he and his wife lived for the first three years of their marriage. The first edition was published in 1846. After its first publication, Hawthorne sent copies to critics including Margaret Fuller, Edgar Allan Poe, Rufus Wilmot Griswold, and Henry Theodore Tuckerman.[1] Regarding the second edition, published in 1854, Hawthorne wrote to publisher James Thomas Fields that he no longer understood the messages he was sending in these stories. He wrote, "I remember that I always had a meaning—or, at least, thought I had."[2]
