Excerpt from The Scarlet Letter and the Blithedale Romance
The Scarlet Letter was the first sustained work of fiction completed by Hawthorne after he had be come known to the public through the twice-told Tales and was the first among his books which attained popularity. He had meanwhile published Grandfather's Chair, for children, and his Mosses from an Old Manse. But it was not until he once more took up his residence in Salem, while occupy ing the post of surveyor at the Custom House of that port, that he began to hear - as he expressed it to a friend - a romance growling in his mind. This romance was the now world-famous one, which is again offered to readers in the present volume. It was begun some time in the winter Of 1849 - 50, after the author had been deprived of his official situation. He completed the book February 3, 1850 and on the fol lowing day wrote to Horatio Bridge.
