It would -be easy to explain Haw- thorne s peculiar temperament after. the modern fashion by reference to heredity and environment. says Paul Elmer More in The Atlantic. No doubt_ there was `a strain of eccentricity in the family. He himself tells of a cousin who made a spittoon out of the skull of his enemy, and it is natural that a de- scendant of the old Puritan witch Judge should portray the weird and grotesque aspects of life. Probably, too. -his native tendency was increased by the circumstances that surrounded his youth-the seclusion of bismuth- er s life. his boyhood on -Lake Sebago. where, as he says, he first got his cursed habit of solitude, and the long years during` which he lived as-a hermit in Salem. ` .
