Introduction by Nina Baym -- Suggestions for further reading -- Note on the text -- Scarlet letter -- Notes by Thomas E. Connolly
Set in the harsh Puritan community of seventeenth-century Boston, this tale of an adulterous entanglement that results in an illegitimate birth reveals [the author's] concerns with the tension between the public and the private selves. Publicly disgraced and ostracized, Hester Prynne draws on her inner strength and certainty of spirit to emerge as the first true heroine of American fiction. Arthur Dimmesdale stands as a classic study of a self divided; trapped by the rules of society, he suppresses his passing and disavows his lover, Hester, and their daughter, Pearl. [This novel] was not written as realistic, historical fiction, but as a "romance," a creation of the imagination that discloses the truth of the human heart.-Back cover
