Back Cover Synopsis:
The Scarlet Letter is Nathaniel Hawthorne's most famous and highly praised novel. Set in the severe Puritan community of 17th-century Boston, it is a deeply moving novel, rich in psychological insight and human truths. It's main character, Hester Prynne, is Hawthorne's greatest creation. Publicly discraced and ostracized, she draws on her inner strength and certainty of spirit to emerge as the first true heroine of American fiction. Arnold Bennett called The Scarlet Letter "the one American literary work which comes as near to perfection as is granted a man to bring his achievements."
