About the Book

Nathaniel Hawthorne's masterpiece, The Scarlet Letter, is a foundational work in American Literature. This edition includes notes, maps, and essays to enhance the reading experience.
This 1850 novel is a romantic work of fiction set in the historical setting of 17th-century Puritan Boston, Massachusetts during the years 1642 to 1649. It magnifies freedom attainable through individual thought, even in the midst of an oppressive environment. As Hawthorne writes, "She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom."
The Puritan people as a whole were liberty-loving in the extreme, but the individual was restrained at every step by laws that no free people of today would tolerate for an hour. Paternalism in government was the rule in the other colonies and in Europe, but nowhere was it carried to such an extreme as in New England.
This book is a selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative. It is also listed on the College Board reading list for Advanced Placement English.
About the Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. John Hathorne, who was involved in the Salem witch trials, was among his ancestors. Because he was ashamed of this connection, Nathaniel added a "w" to make his name "Hawthorne", and this has been continued by his descendants. Hawthorne's first novel was titled Fanshawe, but because it was not up to the standard of his later novels, he tried to keep it from being published. His short stories were also published in several magazines and were later collected in the book Twice-Told Tales. In 1842, he married Sophia Peabody and moved between various small towns in Massachusetts. He worked at a Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community. In 1850 The Scarlet Letter was published, followed by a several other novels. A political appointment took Nathaniel and his family to Europe before their return to The Wayside in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864.
