Purchase options and add-ons

This perennially popular Norton Critical Edition has been revised to reflect the most current scholarly approaches to The Scarlet Letter―Hawthorne’s most widely read novel―as well as to the five short prose works―“Mrs. Hutchinson,” “Endicott and the Red Cross,” “Young Goodman Brown,” “The Minister’s Black Veil,” and “The Birth-mark”―that closely relate to the 1850 novel.

This Second Norton Critical Edition also includes:
· Revised and expanded explanatory footnotes, a new preface, and a note on the text by Leland S. Person.
· Key passages from Hawthorne’s notebooks and letters that suggest the close relationship between his private and public writings
· Seven new critical essays by Brook Thomas, Michael Ryan, Thomas R. Mitchell, Jay Grossman, Jamie Barlowe, John Ronan, and John F. Birk.
· A Chronology and revised and expanded Selected Bibliography.

Born on the fourth of July in 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote the stories that lie at the heart of the American Romantic movement. His portraits of colonial life reflect his Puritan heritage and offer fascinating profiles of individuals who strive for freedom from social conventions.

I bought it for a high school student. I have never liked this particular story but respect why it is required reading. This copy has some extras that can help the reader understand more and help prepare the student for writing the dreaded class essay.

Disappointed with this.
I was very pleased to find this book in the correct edition.
I chose a used book which did not mention it was written in or highlighted.
However, the first part of this book was heavily written in. So much so that we had to get another copy from a classmate as she couldn't read the text.
Had I known it was this bad, I defintely would not have bought it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre
Reviewed in Italy on March 31, 2019
Verified Purchase
Edizione piuttosto mediocre. Il volume è molto più pesante di quanto non dovrebbe viste le dimensioni contenute. La copertina è scadente e con un minimo di umidità si scompagina. Le righe del testo sono piuttosto ravvicinate e leggere risulta faticoso.
