The Scarlet Letter (Modern Library Classics)
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Modern Library

The first masterpiece of American literature
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," might well be Nathaniel Hawthorne's theme in The Scarlet Letter. Certainly, by all community standards Hester Prynne's adultery is a sin. Worse yet Arthur Dimmesdale has triply sinned since he has had carnal ...

Penguin Classics

A wonderful piece of literature, however
I completely agree with most HS students that this book should be optional reading for them because HS teachers should very well know that there are many different minds that need very different kinds of reading material and exposure to variety is not always a good ...
The Scarlet Letter
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Pocket
, 2004
A true classic for me
I was always skeptical when teachers used the term "classic" when referring to a book. It always seemed to me to be a term to describe books I had to read that were going to suck. The Scarlet Letter was a happy exception; one that actually has meaning today as it did ...

Good Book, Perfect Match
This book was well written by its author, Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is considered one of the classics, hence the reason that we read it in AP Lang. But I was most impressed with the price, quality, and speediness of the delivery and book. I was also very happy to see ...
The Scarlet Letter and Other Writings (Norton Critical Editions)

Scarlet Letter
This eddition of the book is not about the excellence of the story- but, rather a consise review of Hawthorne's writing of several of his works. It is excellent for the student of the author
The House of the Seven Gables (Signet Classics)
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Signet Classics
, 2001
More fun than I thought it would be
Purchased in anticipation of a trip to Salem, MA to visit the actual House of the Seven Gables, I have to admit that I enjoyed this book far more than I thought I was going to. Written in 1851, The House of the Seven Gables is at once both a period romance and history ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne Meets Charles Dickens.
If you are not familiar with Nathaniel Hawthorne, it may help you to read chapter 13 first. The events in chapter 13 take place before anything else in the story. That said, this book is phenomenal. It would almost appear that Nathaniel Hawthorne was taking lessons ...
Tanglewood Tales: For Girls and Boys (Tor Classics)
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Tor Classics
, 1999
At 79 y/o and remember this book vividly from childhood.
A wonderful collection of tales for children, however, the edition available from amazon does not have the wonderful illustrations which did so much to enhance the stories. Try to get the old version.
The Blithedale Romance (Penguin Classics)
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Penguin Classics
, 1983
Hawthorne's Sleeper
Lacking perhaps the ambitious design of other Hawthorne novels, Blithdale makes up for it in first-person freshness. It's witty and straight, take it as you will. And yes, somewhat wickedly tongue in cheek in its engagement with a 19th century American experiment in ...
Nathaniel Hawthorne's Tales (Norton Critical Editions)
Nathaniel Hawthorne
W. W. Norton
, 1987
the master of allegory
This is very well edited and prepared collection of Hawthorne's tales. It has everything what a critical edition needs. But the real value of this book are, of course, Hawthorne's tales themselves. For a long time Hawthorne was almost forgotten author, forgotten for ...
Selected Tales and Sketches (Penguin Classics)
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Penguin Classics
, 1987
excellent selection, excellent introduction
Hawthorne was, of course, one of (if not *the*) most important writers of 19th Century America and this edition demonstrates why. The level of engagement Hawthorne had with early America, the level of detail in his texts, and the level of scholarship advanced by the ...
