The editor’s introduction and head notes trace the evolution of Hawthorne’s writing over the course of his long career: from the tales, to their apotheosis in \u003cb\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/b\u003e, through his popular romances, to his private journals and frustrated attempts at another romance. Readers looking for a critical vantage point from which to see Hawthorne whole—his artistic rise, triumph, and sad decline—can find it in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015930953968,"sku":"9780143039280","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143039280_p0.jpg?v=1763656534","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143039280","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
