Collecting Hawthorne: (Not) Only A Woman's Hair
Submitted by Carolyn Vega on Thu, 03/24/2011 - 12:28pm"Only A Woman's Hair:" it can't really be called a lock, and we aren't even sure whose hair it is. Mounted, almost as an afterthought, on the last page of a volume, it is possibly Elizabeth Hawthorne's. These rich brown curls were teased out and preserved by Stephen H. Wakeman in his collection of Nathaniel Hawthorne related material.
