Page 7 PREFACE This edition of The Scarlet Letter, A Romance is based on the text of the First Edition of March 1850, the edition from which all recent authoritative versions derive. The goal of the edition is to make the romance accessible to the modern reader, both general and at university, by presenting it in its historical context. Consequently, the edition provides annotations in footnotes to clarify isolated difficulties in the text, a chronology of Hawthorne's life, and a range of historical documents that Hawthorne drew upon, or which shed light on controversies and relationships that he experienced. The intent of these appendices is to establish contexts that a reader can explore as he or she finds engaging, rediscovering Hawthorne and his responses at first hand. While not ignoring scholarship, this approach to contexts may also help to reveal Hawthorne's relevance to fiction written today; he is in a real sense "modern" in his critique of themes and in his narrative style. To this end, the Introduction and Appendices navigate between providing a background for Hawthorne's text and giving some critical pointing of issues and problems. This edition acknowledges the many inspirations received from specialists in the study of Hawthorne's works, either through their books, essays, teachings, or personal contact. Among these, I must note especially Kenneth Dauber's Rediscovering Hawthorne (1977). I am grateful to the several librarians at Harvard University, the University of Calgary (Inter-Library Loan Office), and the New York Public Library who assisted me often. This edition is for Dirkje Clasina, Robert, and Paul.
