About This Book
This book is a collection of critical essays on Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850) ā one of the most influential American works of fiction. The presented interpretations deal not only with the principal characters of the novel, but also with Ā«The Custom-HouseĀ», the Spanish sailors, the Book of Revelations, and the artist as adulterer. The critical tools employed include allegory, the Biedermeier, hermeneutical exposition, semiosis of the infans, and triangular desire.
This publication is dedicated to the memory of Andrzej Kopcewicz (1934-2007), the first professor ordinarius of American literature in the history of English studies in Poland, on the tenth anniversary of his death.
