La letra escarlata es una novela de Nathaniel Hawthorne, publicada en 1850. Está enmarcada en la puritana Nueva Inglaterra de principios del siglo XVII. Relata la historia de Hester Prynne, una mujer acusada de adulterio y condenada a llevar en su pecho una letra "A", de adúltera, que la marque. Ella no revela la identidad del padre de su hija, y trata de vivir en una sociedad injusta e hipócrita con dignidad. En la novela, Hawthorne trata los temas de la gracia divina, la justicia y el castigo.
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864) fue un novelista y cuentista estadounidense. Es considerado figura clave en el desarrollo de la literatura norteamericana en sus orígenes. Hawthorne es conocido sobre todo por sus relatos breves -que él llamó "cuentos"-, muchas veces de contenido siniestro, al gusto de la época, y por sus cuatro novelas largas: La letra escarlata (1850), La casa de los siete tejados (1851), La novela de Blithedale (1852) y El fauno de mármol (1860). -

The Princess Casamassima is the story of an intelligent but confused young London bookbinder, Hyacinth Robinson, who becomes involved in radical politics and a terrorist assassination plot. Amanda Pynsent, an impoverished seamstress, has adopted Hyacinth Robinson, the illegitimate son of her old friend Florentine Vivier, a Frenchwoman of less than sterling repute, and an English lord. Florentine had stabbed her lover to death several years ago, and Pinnie (as Miss Pynsent is nicknamed) takes Hyacinth to see her as she lies dying at Millbank prison. Hyacinth eventually learns that the dying woman is his mother and that she murdered his father. Many years pass. Hyacinth, now a young man and a skilled bookbinder, meets revolutionary Paul Muniment and gets involved in radical politics. Hyacinth also has a coarse but lively girlfriend, Millicent Henning, and one night they go to the theatre. There Hyacinth meets the radiantly beautiful Princess Casamassima...
