This week we read one of the American classics: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, first published in 1850. Our first literary journey to the 19th century! That is not to say it was a smooth ride...

Prepare for rambles about pesky narrators, the concept of penitence, why this story might still be relevant today – and the ultimate question: can The Scarlet Letter be read as a feminist text?!
