An ardent young woman, her cowardly lover and her aging, vengeful husband--these are the central characters in this stark drama of the conflict between passion and convention in the harsh, Puritan world of seventeenth century Boston. Tremendously moving, rich in psychological insight, this tragic novel of shame and redemption reveals Hawthorne's concern with the New England past and its influence on American attitudes.
