New Cranford: The Scarlet Letter

A Limited Edition from the Cranford Collection! Beautifully embossed with a gold gilding on a hardback cloth binding for the cover. This tragic novel of sin and redemption is Hawthorne´s masterpiece of American fiction. An ardent young woman, her cowardly lover, and her aging vengeful husband--these are the central characters in this stark drama of the conflict between passion and convention in the harsh world of seventeenth-century Boston. Tremendously moving and rich in psychological insight, this dramatic depiction of the struggle between mind and heart illuminates Hawthorne´s concern with our Puritan past and its influence on American life.
