A groundbreaking tale of injustice and perseverance that grapples with the founding history of this country, Nathaniel Hawthorne's \u003ci\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e tells the tale of one woman's dignity in the face of persecution, the threat she poses to Puritan power, and the desperate lengths people will reach to maintain the status quo.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tale of sin, punishment and atonement, \u003ci\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the moral rigidity of a 17th-Century Puritan New England community when faced with a \"fallen\" young mother and her illegitimate daughter. Forced to wear the scarlet \"A\" after committing adultery, Hester Prynne lives on the outskirts of society. Visited only by the Reverend Dimmesdale and watched over by Roger Chillingworth, she is both at the mercy of and defiantly against the immutable value system that shapes her fate and that of her child. Regarded as the first real heroine of American fiction, it is Hester Prynne's strength of character that Hawthorne champions, and that has inspired feminist literature for the nearly two centuries since the novel's publication. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: \u003c\/b\u003e Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: \u003c\/b\u003e This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children's books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAMERICA'S PUBLISHER: \u003c\/b\u003e Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters.
