The Scarlet Letter: A Dramatic Composition (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from The Scarlet Letter: A Dramatic Composition ...)
Excerpt from The Scarlet Letter: A Dramatic Composition It is but fair to say that the dramatic construction was the result of collaboration by the composer and the author, and was largely suggested by Mr. Damrosch. Obviously the character of Little Pearl was impossible in opera, and she was therefore omitted. The great elemental story of Hester's and Arthur's love, sin, suffering, and partial expiation is what we wished to treat. This is presented with the utmost directness and compression. Gaps are bridged, delays avoided. Inci dents are changed, remodeled, or transposed at will, and new incidents and moods are introduced.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(George Parsons Lathrop (1851–1898) was an American poet a...)
George Parsons Lathrop (1851–1898) was an American poet and novelist. Nathaniel Hawthorne ( born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist, Dark Romantic, and short story writer. He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. Nathaniel later added a "w" to make his name "Hawthorne" in order to hide this relation. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824,and graduated in 1825. Hawthorne published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828; he later tried to suppress it, feeling it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children. Much of Hawthorne's writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce.

George Parsons Lathrop
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated in private schools in New York and, from 1867 to 1870, in Dresden, Germany. Returning to America in 1870, he entered Columbia Law School in New York City for a term, but soon decided to leave the law for a literary career.
Career
In 1875 Lathrop became associate editor of the Atlantic Monthly during the editorship of William Dean Howells. In 1877 he left the Atlantic to become editor for two years of the Boston Sunday Courier. In 1881 he went to Europe, where he wrote "Spanish Vistas, " travel essays later published in book form, for Harper's Monthly.
Lathrop founded the American Copyright League in 1883 and acted as its secretary until the summer of 1885; later he organized as an auxiliary the Western Copyright League in Chicago. After a seven years' campaign, the international copyright law came into being, substantially as Lathrop had at first proposed it. During this time he had been literary editor of the New York Star and in 1887 had seen his dramatization of Tennyson's "Elaine, " written in collaboration with Henry Edwards, presented in Madison Square Theatre, New York. Later in 1887 the play was presented in Boston and Chicago.
Converted to Roman Catholicism, Lathrop and his wife were received into the Church in March 1891 by the Paulist priest, Alfred Young. As a Catholic, Lathrop had an active part in two enterprises: the founding of the Catholic Summer School of America at New London, Connecticut, in 1892, an institution which was transferred in 1893 to its present location on Lake Champlain; and the Paulist inauguration of the Apostolate of the Press which he supported with his pen.
He published his works Rose and Roof-tree in 1875 and A Study of Hawthorne in 1876. He edited in 1878 A Masque of Poets and in 1883 the Riverside edition of Hawthorne's works, with introductory notes and a biographical sketch of Hawthorne. He also adapted Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter for Walter Damrosch's opera of the same name, which was produced with great success in New York in 1896. With Mrs. Lathrop he wrote A Story of Courage (1894), a history of the Order of the Sisters of the Visitation. He died in New York City.
Achievements
-
Lathrop was the author of fifteen books of which "Rose and Roof-tree" (1875), poems; "A Study of Hawthorne" (1876); and "Spanish Vistas" (1883) are noteworthy. His contributions to the periodical and daily press were varied and voluminous. He was the founder of the American Copyright League, which assisted in securing an international copyright law. George was also one of the founders of the Catholic Summer School of America.
