A compiled index organizes Nathaniel Hawthorne's corpus by listing novels, short-story collections, sketches, biographies, and notebook material with tables of contents and chapter or tale headings. Major works and multi‑volume pieces are broken into their constituent chapters and entries, while shorter tales are grouped by collection, enabling straightforward navigation between romances, moral sketches, and children’s stories. The arrangement emphasizes publication formats and internal structure, offering readers a clear map of where individual stories, essays, and passages appear within larger volumes.
