Readers of The Scarlet Letter have long been captivated by the strength and resolve of Hester Prynne. Now, in this remarkable and mesmerizing novel, Bigsby bridges the centuries and introduces readers to a younger Prynne, telling of her attempts to flee an oppressive marriage, her love affair with Arthur Dimmesdale, and of her life in a new land.
In his first novel, British scholar Christopher W.E. Bigsby provides a prequel to The Scarlet Letter, introducing readers to a younger Hester Prynne. He tells of her attempts to flee an oppressive marriage to Roger Chillingworth, her love affair with Arthur Dimmesdale, and her life in the New World. In the process, Bigsby condemns the obstacles and prejudices that strong, intelligent women faced in the 17th century, providing a powerful narrative reframing of a compelling literary character.
