The Scarlet Letter Summary
| Nathaniel Hawthorne's dramatic story of alienation, rebellion, and secret love is as relevant to today's readers as it was 150 years ago. Hawthorne, who served President Franklin Pierce as U.S. Consul to England, remains one of America's most-read and most beloved authors. |

Nathaniel Hawthorne's tragic tale of early New England life. It chronicles the tale of adultress Hester Prynne. |

|
Hailed by Henry James as "the finest piece of imaginative writing yet put forth in the country," Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter reaches to our nation's historical and moral roots for the material of great tragedy. Set in an early New England colony, the novel shows the terrible impact a single, passionate act has on the lives of three members of the community: the defiant Hester Prynne; the fiery, tortured Reverend Dimmesdale; and the obsessed, vengeful Chillingworth. With The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne became the first American novelist to forge from our Puritan heritage a universal classic, a masterful exploration of humanity's unending struggle with sin, guilt and pride. "[Nathaniel Hawthorne] recaptured, for his New England, the essence of Greek tragedy." |

| The familiar characters of Hawthorne's dark tale of pride and guilt in colonial New England. |
|
|
| When it first appeared in 1850, The Scarlet Letter enjoyed scandalous success. New England critics condemned its passionate subject matter. One critic complained that Nathaniel Hawthorne invested adultery with all the fascination of genius, and all the charms of a highly polished style. My preliminary chapter, wryly noted the author, has caused the greatest uproar that has happened here since witch-times. As she emerges from the prison of a Puritan New England town, Hester Prynne defies the dark gloom much as the rose blooms against the prison door. With her illegitimate baby, Pearl, clutched in her arms and the letter A--the mark of an adulteress--embroidered in scarlet thread on her breast, Hester holds her head high as she faces the malice and scorn of the townsfolk. Her powerful, bittersweet story is an American classic that continues to touch the hearts of modern readers with its timeless themes of guilt, passion and repentance. |
