The Scarlet Letter

* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric images and considered Hawthorne's greatest work, The Scarlet Letter is set in seventeenth century Massachusetts and tells the gripping story of a beautiful young woman forced to wear a scarlet 'A' for adultery. She refuses to reveal the identity of her daughter's father and is partially ostracized while her daughter grows up with an unhealthy fascination with the scarlet letter 'A'.

* Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published well over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of American literature and continues to be widely read and studied throughout the world.

* This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
