Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Passages from a Relinquished Work (From "Mosses from an Old Manse")" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story originally written in 1834 and added to the second edition of *Mosses from an Old Manse* in 1854. This piece appears in a collection known for its allegorical tales that explore the darker aspects of human nature. The collection, named after the home where Hawthorne lived early in his marriage, features stories that critics described as baptized in tragedy's deep waters, offering only brief moments of brightness never exceeding dusky twilight.
