Sir Walter Scott.

Explanation:

The works of Sir Walter Scott deeply influenced the American literary theory in general and Hawthorne in particular, as it depicted the social and political changes in the eighteenth century which is reflected in his works quite evidently. G. Harrison Orians asserted that "Hawthorne's lifelong romantic tendencies received their nurture from greatest unknown" and this "unknown is Scott". Scott inspired him to illustrate their own history and experience. He influenced him to use imagery and symbolism in his works. In fact, his first novel "Fanshawe" is recognized as an imitation of Scott. Thus, to conclude we can say that Hawthorne was heavily influenced by Scott and his works.
