Dr. Grimshaw's Secret

Much of the last few years of Hawthorne's life was given to working on versions of a last romance, set partly in England, which he never completed. This version was edited into publishable form by his son a few years after his death; while legitimate objections exist to Julian Hawthorne's edition, it is the version which has been known to readers and formed part of Hawthorne's oeuvre for most of its history.
