Have you ever tried to read "The Scarlet Letter" but realized midway through the second sentence that you were already lost? "No Fear Shakespeare: The Scarlet Letter" will change all that. No need to worry about losing the thread anymore: whenever Hawthorne's sentences become too convoluted to follow, or you can't figure out exactly what he's talking about, simply look across at the right-hand page and a simplified, modernized text--using the kind of English we actually speak today--will set you back on track. Soon you'll be reading Hawthorne's own words fearlessly--and actually enjoying it. Part of a very successful series, "The Scarlet Letter" is a required book in many high school and university English classes, and this will help students understand Hawthorne's classic novel.
