"In Updike's Version: Rewriting "The Scarlet Letter," the first book-length study of Updike's Scarlet Letter trilogy, Schiff argues that Updike parodies Hawthorne's canonical myth, boldly updating not only the conflict between the flesh and the spirit but also the American quest for sexual intellectual potency. . . . Schiff has obviously written a study of considerable critical importance, a study that should challenge and inform any scholar of Updike's Scarlet Letter trilogy."--American Literature
