The bicentennial birthday of Nathaniel Hawthorne is commemorated in this beautifully designed site by the Peabody Essex Museum. Visitors can take advantage of an impressive interactive presentation that provides complete narrated and digitized images of "The Spectator," a hand-copied newspaper produced by Hawthorne as a teenager. Links to museum artifacts, sketches, and portraits are accessible throughout the site. A great resource for background information about the author, before introducing students to his works.
