Information AboutThe House Of The Seven Gables (novel) |
The House of the Seven Gables is a Novel written in 1851 by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne . The novel begins: Halfway down a by-street of one of our New England towns stands a rusty wooden house, with seven acutely peaked gables, facing towards various points of the compass, and a huge, clustered chimney in the midst. The street is Pyncheon Street; the house is the old Pyncheon House; and an elm-tree, of wide circumference, rooted before the door, is familiar to every town-born child by the title of the Pyncheon Elm. It is interesting to note that the Pyncheon family actually existed and were ancestors of American novelist Thomas Pynchon . External links
