Published in 1850, The Scarlet Letter is considered Nathaniel Hawthorne's most famous novel--and the first American novel in style, theme, and language. Set in 17th century Puritan Massachusetts, The Scarlet Letter centers around Hester Prynne, who gives birth to an illegitimate child and is quickly introduced to the ugliness, complexity, and ultimately the strength of the human spirit.
