Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to (re)consider the American colonial past, as represented in some of Hawthorne’s best-known short stories, from the perspective of cultural studies. After the theoretical introduction, which deals with the Puritans as the majority group in colonial New England, several short stories from the “Twice-Told Tales” collection are analyzed in order to compare the historical data with the fictionalized representations of the American past.
