Introduction and Notes by Henry Claridge, Senior Lecturer, School
of English, University of Kent at Canterbury. This is a troubling
story of crime, sin, guilt, punishment and expiation, set in the
rigid moral climate of 17th-century New England. The young mother
of an illegitimate child confronts her Puritan judges. However, it
is not so much her harsh sentence, but the cruelties of slowly
exposed guilt as her lover is revealed, that hold the reader
enthralled all the way to the book's poignant climax.
