Young's book is one of the great works of Hawthorne criticism and a wonderful read. Hester's "A" was to her author an "I." Young's literary detective work delves into the Salem town court records that Hawthorne read assiduously, finding Hester Prynne's model there as well as the case of Nicholas Manning, Hawthorne's maternal ancestor, who was accused of sleeping with his sisters Anstis and Margaret.
