This annotated edition of The Scarlet Letter enhances student and reader comprehension of a standard work studied in literature classes, exploring names, places, objects, and allusions.

Fascinated by colonial New England, shaped in part by his ancestors, Nathaniel Hawthorne recreated that world in his masterpiece, The Scarlet Letter. A novel that has inspired generations of American authors and regularly appears on required reading lists, The Scarlet Letter presents the story of a young woman who has violated the rules of her culture and suffers public exposure for her act. Men linked to her by love or law conceal their identities and motives through secrecy and silence. Together their lives unfold in 17th-century Massachusetts as Hawthorne envisioned it, exploring human experiences both particular to that historical moment and timeless.
