About this product

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a classic 1850 novel set in mid-17th century Boston, exploring themes of sin, guilt, and redemption within a rigid Puritan society. Hester Prynne, publicly shamed for bearing an illegitimate child, wears a scarlet 'A' as a mark of her transgression. Though penitent, her refusal to reveal her lover's identity deepens her isolation. When her presumed-dead husband returns under a false name, the complex web of secrets among the four central characters intensifies. The story examines individual conscience versus societal judgment and reflects early American transcendental ideals. This Barnes & Noble Signature Classics edition features a durable paperback format with 272 pages.
