Passages from a Relinquished Work

Nathaniel Hawthorne

First published 1854
Type Short Fiction

  • In four sections: "At Home," "The Flight in the Fog," "The Fellow-Traveller," and "The Village Theatre."
  • This record pertains to the version of "Passages from a Relinquished Work" published in the second edition of Mosses from an Old Manse. Previously it had been published (uncredited) in two parts, titled "The Story-Teller No. I" and "The Story-Teller No. II," in the New England Magazine, November and December 1834; this version also contained "Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe," which was omitted from the collected version because it had already been published separately in Twice-Told Tales.
