The Classic Text: Traditions and Interpretations: Nathaniel Hawthorne: The Scarlet Letter
http://www.uwm.edu/Library/special/exhibits/clastext/clspg143.htm
Part of “The Classic Text: Traditions and Interpretations”, an online exhibit which “examines some of the high spots of the western literary canon. It explores the foundations of their iconographic standing, demonstrating how they arrive at this status through a variety of means, and not always on the basis of their literary worth. The exhibition gives special focus to how printers, publishers, editors, illustrators, and translators have used the icon of the classic text as a venue for their own agendas.”
