To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The misery entailed upon Hester Pr/nne and Arthur Dimmesdale in consequence of their sin, and the malignant revenge for his own wrongs taken by Roger Chillingworth, must profoundly impress every reader endowed with even a modicum of imagination. Yet the romance has not won for itself a very wide currency outside the English-speaking peoples. This fact may be partly due to its setting, primitive New England not being within the mental horizon of many foreigners. Perhaps, how r ever, certain feat...ures of Haw thorne s treatment of his universal subject have limited the appeal of his romance. Such a theme would seem to demand complete simplicity and concreteness of treat ment; yet Hawthorne would not have been himself had 364 AMERICAN LITERATURE he not treated it, to a certain extent, symbolically. His imagination played around the scarlet initial; it also played around the fantastic Pearl and her relations with her parents. Perhaps a slighter infusion of the " Haw- thornesque " would have made the most imaginative Amer ican romance one of the indisputably greatest books of the world.
