This Penguin Classics edition of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s seminal 1850 novel presents the haunting tale of Hester Prynne, a woman ostracized by her 17th-century Puritan community for bearing a child out of wedlock. Through the lens of the titular scarlet letter, Hawthorne explores profound themes of sin, guilt, legalism, and the resilience of the human spirit.
