H. Lawrence said that there could not be a more perfect work of the American imagination than The Scarlet Letter.[5] Henry James once said of the novel, "It is beautiful, admirable, extraordinary; it has in the highest degree that merit which I have spoken of as the mark of Hawthorne's best things—an indefinable purity and lightness of conception...One can often return to it; it supports familiarity and has the inexhaustible charm and mystery of great works of art."[5][21]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-686.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-686.txt
