Description
This book presents a great American writer at the height of his powers. It includes his most famous and highly praised novel The Scarlet Letter and seven of his finest stories. Hawthorne's stature seems to grow with the passing decades. Contemporary critics have been tireless in discovering the layers of meaning in his fiction. Henry James predicted this when he wrote "his work will remain; it is too original and exquisite to pass away." - Jacket flap.
