Rich in allegory and imaginative symbolism, the tales illustrate the development of Hawthorne's preoccupations with the themes of guilt and secrecy, intellectual and moral pride, with the aesthetic representation of the supernatural and with the decadence (as he perceived it ) of New England Puritanism. This edition notes all the significant textual changes made by the author to the tales, and provides detailed explanatory notes on Hawthorne's sources and allusions, taking into account all recent Hawthorne scholarship
