Nathaniel
Hawthorne (1804-1864) was
an American short story writer and novelist. Known for sophisticated allegorical
and moralistic tales often set in New England, he was the first American author
to produce a uniquely American epic, The
Scarlet Letter, a work that sets the pattern for the Great American Novel, a
thematic form built upon a post-Calvinist worldview that intermingles an ironic
appreciation for human individualism with a determined commitment to political liberty
and intellectual freedom. Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick
and Mark Twain’s The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn are heirs to Hawthorne’s revelation.

Nice effect with the word "Scarlet" in scarlet.
Why not allow Amazon to use "Look inside the Book"? If some of your essay could be seen, that might attract readers.

Thanks. I'll follow up on your "Look Inside the Book" suggestion.

And using letters to compose the word "Letter"!
Yes, not too many people use letters in this way!
I just don't write letters anymore. I email instead . . .
