  Reviews: [E]very reader of The Scarlet Letter comes to feel a great regret at Hester’s unfulfilled potential… Certainly we sense an unwritten book in her, a story that Hawthorne did not choose to write. But what he has written marks the true beginning of American prose fiction, the absolute point of origin from which we can trace the sequence that goes from Melville and James to Faulkner and Pynchon. - Harold Bloom

The Scarlet Letter is the story of a stranger who rejoins the community by compromising for principle, and her resolution has far-reaching implications about the symbolic structures of the American ideology. - Sacvan Bercovitch

Discription: An allegorical tale of passion, adultery, guilt, and social repression, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter introduces readers to Hester Prynne, America’s first great fictional heroine. Hawthorne’s story is a masterpiece of American literature, and this updated volume from the Viva Modern Critical Interpretations series explores how the author powerfully conveys the theme of the influence of Purtanism on societal attitudes.
