Ambientada en la Nueva Inglaterra de los puritanos del siglo XVII, La letra escarlata (1849) narra el terrible impacto que un simple acto de pasión desencadena en las vidas de tres miembros de la comunidad: Hester Prynne, una mujer de espíritu libre e independiente, objeto del escarnio público y condenada a llevar la «A» de «Adúltera»; el reverendo Dimmesdale, un alma atormentada por la culpa aunque digno de la estima general, y Chillingworth, un ser siniestro, cruel y vengativo, que maquina en la sombra. La presente edición incluye una introducción de la catedrática Nina Baym, cuya labor investigadora se ha centrado en el estudio de la literatura americana del siglo XIX. En el año 2000 recibió la medalla Jay Hubble que otorga la Modern Language Association por sus valiosas aportaciones en esta materia.
