內容簡介
There could not be a more perfect work of the American imagination than The Scarlet Letter.
— D. H. Lawrence
“It is beautiful, admirable, extraordinary; it has in the highest degree that merit which I have spoken of as the mark of Hawthorne’s best things—an indefinable purity and lightness of conception...One can often return to it; it supports familiarity and has the inexhaustible charm and mystery of great works of art.”
— Henry James
The Scarlet Letter is a work of historical fiction by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1850, and was an instant best-seller. It is also one of the first mass-produced books in America.
Set in Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony during the years 1642 to 1649, the novel tells the story of Hester Prynne who conceives a daughter through an affair and then struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. The book explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt.
The Scarlet Letter was one of the first mass-produced books in America. It was popular when first published and is considered a classic work today. It inspired numerous film, television, and stage adaptations. Critics have described it as a masterwork and novelist D. H. Lawrence called it a “perfect work of the American imagination”.

作者簡介
納撒尼爾·霍桑（1804—1864），美國19世紀後期浪漫主義文學的重要作家。他的代表作《紅字》一經問世，便引起了巨大轟動。小說以深邃的主題，象徵、隱喻等藝術手法的運用而形成了獨特的風格，其象徵手法影響了《白鯨》的作者麥爾維爾、法國的波德萊爾以及現代派文學的象徵主義。此外，霍桑對美國文學史上一批卓有成就的作家諸如海明威、菲茲傑拉德、福克納等都產生較大影響。
