The She Rose Classics edition of The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hester Prynne faces public humiliation when she's forced to wear the visible mark of an adulteress on her gown for an affair she engaged in. Meanwhile, her lover guiltily hides while her vengeful husband rages. Hawthorne's 1850 canonical work examines the cost of sin and repentance in the puritanical strictures of a society where freedom comes at a steep price.
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was born in Salem, Massachusetts, as the direct descendant of Puritan settlers from England. While employed in other professions, he became one of America's greatest writers by probing our nation's political and moral commitments in haunting tales and novels that wrestle with the deep themes of sin, guilt, and redemption.
