Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"The Seven Vagabonds" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story published in 1837 as part of the collection *Twice-Told Tales*. This collection gathered stories previously published anonymously in magazines and annuals, later revealed to be Hawthorne's work. The tales showcase his characteristic purity of style and depth of feeling, earning praise from contemporaries like Longfellow who called them works of genius, though Poe critiqued their allegorical nature while acknowledging Hawthorne's indisputable talent.
