In a small Puritan community, Hester has a baby, but her husband has been away for years. She is forced to wear a bright red A sewn onto on her dress, broadcasting her disgrace as an Adulteress. When her jealous and deranged 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 gothic novel of romance, revenge, and redemption, The Scarlet Letter still resonates with readers today. Find out why in this unabridged original from 1850.

Instead, they point out general ideas and things to pay attention to that help you find your own interpretations. Footnotes help foster understanding, and historical context about the author and the prevailing culture provides important perspective. Questions are provided at the end to help inspire discussion or essay topics. Teachers recommend that you read actively and engage with the text to help you draw on your own knowledge and experience to get more out of a novel. Keynote Classics(TM) paperbacks provide more space in the margins for writing down thoughts, connections, and interpretations as you read.
