Hailed by Henry James as "the finest piece of imaginative writing
yet put forth in the country," Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet
Letter reaches to our nation's historical and moral roots for the
material of great tragedy. Set in an early New England colony, the
novel shows the terrible impact a single, passionate act has on the
lives of three members of the community: the defiant Hester Prynne;
the fiery, tortured Reverend Dimmesdale; and the obsessed, vengeful
Chillingworth.
With The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne became the first American
novelist to forge from our Puritan heritage a universal classic, a
masterful exploration of humanity's unending struggle with sin,
guilt and pride.
