If you like The Handmaid’s Tale, Rebecca, or Jane Eyre, you’ll love this psychological gothic thriller.
In a small Puritan community, Hester has a baby, but her husband has been out at sea for years. She is forced to wear a bright red “A” sewn onto on her dress, telling the whole town she committed adultery and broadcasting her disgrace. When her jealous and vindictive husband returns, he becomes obsessed with finding the truth, no matter what it takes. Lives hang in the balance as the secret shared by Hester and her lover threatens to consume them all. A dark novel of romance, revenge, and redemption, The Scarlet Letter is a perennial classic. Unabridged original 1851 edition.

Keynote Classics™ offer a better way to read classic literature, whether for enjoyment or for a class. They include an Introductory Key to give you helpful information that will enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the novel. Traditional literature introductions include in-depth analysis describing plot, themes, and literary devices, and inevitably give away the story before you’ve had a chance to enjoy it relying your own perception and understanding. Keynote Classics™ Introductory Keys are different.

No-spoiler study guides don’t give away plot, themes, or symbolism, and they don’t do literary analysis for you. They simply point out general ideas and things to pay attention to that help you find your own interpretations.
Includes brief historical context about the author and the time and place the novel was written to help you gain important perspective before reading it.
Provides 10 suggested topics for discussion and/or essays.
Teachers recommend that you read actively and engage with the text to help you draw on your own knowledge and experience to get at the meat of a novel. Keynote Classics paperbacks provide more space in the margins for jotting down your thoughts, connections, and interpretations while you read.
Printed with chlorine-free ink and acid-free paper made from 30% post-consumer waste recycled material supplied by a Forest Stewardship Council-certified provider.

About the Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on the fourth of July in 1804 and went on to become one of the most influential American authors of all time. Much of his work draws on his Puritan ancestry and colonial history in psychological tales that explore gender, politics, religion, and community. He is best known for his short story collections, “Twice Told Tales” and “Mosses from an Old Manse,” and his novels The Scarlet Letter and The House of Seven Gables. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s stories lend themselves to multiple interpretations, and thus provide a valuable introduction to literary analysis.
