The Scarlet Letter (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959891567)

"There could not be a more perfect work of the American imagination."

-D. H. Lawrence

In colonial New England, beautiful, young Hester Pryne bears a child although her husband is presumed lost at sea. She refuses to name the father and is condemned to wear a scarlet "A" and live as an outcast. As she transforms the badge of shame into a symbol of freedom, Hawthorne's dramatic masterpiece envisions an authentic relation between the sexes-and a different way of imagining love, sin, and redemption-that can form the basis for America's radical project of a true democracy.
