The Dolliver Romance, Fanshawe, Septimius Felton and the Ancestral Footstep

This volume contains the early romance Fanshawe, which Hawthorne withdrew from publication after poor sales; and three of the four romances left unfinished at his death, all in different stages of draft and all based on related ideas, though developing them in different directions, plots, characters and settings, which are published in the form Hawthorne had brought them to.
