First published in 1851, The House of the Seven Gables is one of Hawthorne's defining works, a vivid depiction of American life and values replete with brilliantly etched characters. The tale of a cursed house with a " mysterious and terrible past" and the generations linked to it, Hawthorne's chronicle of the Maule and Pyncheon families over two centuries reveals, in Mary Oliver's words, " lives caught in the common fire of history." This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition uses the definitive text as prepared for The Centenary Edition of the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne; this is the Approved Edition of the Center for Scholarly Editions (Modern Language Association). It includes newly commissioned notes on the text.

Presenting "The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne with Illustrations by Nicholas Tamblyn and Katherine Eglund." These classics are part of The Great Books Series by Golding Books.Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804, in Salem, Massachusetts. Graduating from Bowdoin College, he published his first novel, Fanshawe, in 1828, but later tried to suppress it due to its perceived deficiencies. Publishing several short stories in periodicals, these were collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales, which gained him a small amount of notice. Subsequent popular novels include The Scarlet Letter (1850), The House of the Seven Gables (1851), and The Blithedale Romance (1852). Suffering from failing health in later life, Hawthorne died at Plymouth, New Hampshire, in 1864.

The common lament was Broadway will never be the same! when My Fair Lady finally ended its stellar run the night of Sunday, September 30, 1962. Millions of people had seen the show over six years and had helped break box-office records, even though Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews, Stanley Holloway, and Robert Coote did not stay with the cast throughout the six-year run. MyFair Lady used the substance and wit of George Bernard Shaw to add a new dimension to the Broadway libretto.
