The Scarlet Letter (Warbler Classics)

In colonial New England, beautiful, young Hester Pryne bears a child although her husband is presumed lost at sea. She refuses to name the father and is condemned to wear a scarlet ?A? and live as an outcast. As she transforms the badge of shame into a symbol of freedom, Hawthorne?s dramatic masterpiece envisions an authentic relation between the sexes?and a different way of imagining love, sin, and redemption?that can form the basis for America?s radical project of a true democracy.
