An American Epic

Freedom of conscience, spiritual liberation, equality of men and women, the central place of family in the human experience, rejection of theocracy - The Scarlet Letter is America's national epic.

As a phenomenon of intellectual history, The Scarlet Letter presents a definitive formulation of the classic liberal ideas that mark the emergence of the modern world. Like the Declaration of Independence, The Scarlet Letter stands on the shoulders of well-evolved political and theological discussions advancing a range of related notions concerning human nature, spiritual freedom, individualism, community, open public disclosure, the nature and character of law, separation of government institutions and powers, and the separation of church and state.
