You need a very good reason to prefer secondary sources over primary sources.

If you've read and re-read his books enough to be going on with, how about his letters? A certain amount of skipping is advisable but there's still some interesting stuff in there.


~~


Fear not that you will cause the slightest trouble to us. Your bed is already made, & the wood marked for your fire. But a moment ago, I looked into the eyes of two fowls, whose tail feathers have been notched, as destined victims for the table. I keep the word “Welcome” all the time in my mouth, so as to be ready on the instant when you cross the threshold.

(By the way the old Romans you know had a Salve carved in their thresholds)

— To Nathaniel Hawthorne, 29th Jan.(?), 1851
