Julian Hawthorne (1846-1934), American author and journalist wrote the biography of his father, Nathaniel Hawthorne and His Wife (1884). As a prolific writer of short stories, poems, novels, mystery/detective fiction, essays, travel books, biographies, and histories, though never really achieving critical acclaim for his own works, Hawthorne lived in the shadow of his father and Hawthorne and His Circle (1903) illustrates this as both blessing and burden.
