Final Jeopardy Explanation – Monday, 23 September 2024

The individual whose 1864 funeral was attended by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, and Franklin Pierce was Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hawthorne was a prominent American novelist and short story writer, best known for his works “The Scarlet Letter” and “The House of the Seven Gables.” His death brought together these notable figures from different spheres—literature, education, and politics—highlighting the wide respect he garnered during his lifetime. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Bronson Alcott were both leading figures in the transcendentalist movement and prominent intellectuals of the era, while Franklin Pierce, who had served as the 14th President of the United States, was a close personal friend of Hawthorne’s from their college days at Bowdoin College. Hawthorne’s influence on American literature and his connections across these varied circles underscore the impact of his literary contributions and personal relationships.
