"Rappaccini's Daughter" is a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne first published in the December 1844 issue of The United States Magazine and Democratic Review, and later in the 1846 collection Mosses from an Old Manse. It is about Giacomo Rappaccini, a medical researcher in medieval Padua who grows a garden of poisonous plants. He brings up his daughter to tend the plants, and she becomes resistant to the poisons, but in the process she herself becomes poisonous to others. The traditional story of a poisonous maiden has been traced back to India, and Hawthorne's version has been adapted in contemporary works. ---------- Also contained in: - [American Fiction](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL14937925W) - [American Short Story](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL8593547W) - [America's Literature](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL3524715W) - [Arbor House Treasury of Horror and the Supernatural](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15705711W) - [Best American Tales](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL2341388W) - [Best of Hawthorne](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455202W) - [Celestial Railroad and Other Stories](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455215W) - [Complete Novels and Selected Tales of Nathaniel Hawthorne](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15136484W) - [Complete Short Stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455222W) - [Future Perfect](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL3931584W) - [Great American Short Stories](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL16045961W) - [Great American Short Stories](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15062982W) - [Great Science Fiction About Doctors](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL16045473W) - [Great Short Stories](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1582988W) - [Great Short Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455617W) - [Harbrace Anthology of Short Fiction: Second Edition](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL26138408W) - [Hawthorne's Short Stories](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455582W) - [Modern Masterpieces of Short Prose Fiction](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL7706876W) - [Mosses from an Old Manse](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455350W) - [Mosses from an Old Manse: 1/2](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455531W) - [Nathaniel Hawthorne's Tales](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL16618230W) - [Oxford Book of Gothic Tales](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL2963651W) - [Rappaccini's Daughter ](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL9171221W) - [Representative Selections](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455540W) - [Selected Short Stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455554W) - [Selected Tales and Sketches](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455628W) - [Selected Tales and Sketches](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20642879W) - [Selected Tales and Sketches: Third Edition](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20642876W) - [Seven Stories](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455451W) - [Shapes of the supernatural](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL5913450W) - [Tales and Sketches](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15299316W) - [Three Complete Novels](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455263W) - [Young Goodman Brown and Other Short Stories](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455509W) - [Young Goodman Brown and Other Tales](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL455511W)
