Nathaniel Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown remains one of the most haunting examinations of faith, fear, and the shadow side of morality ever written. But its 19th-century language can feel distant to today's reader -- until now.

This River Mills Press edition restores the story for the modern mind, presenting two complete versions side-by-side:

•
The Modernized Edition -- a faithful, line-by-line modernization in contemporary English that preserves Hawthorne's rhythm and symbolism while opening his meaning to new readers and classrooms alike.

•
The Original 1835 Text -- meticulously typeset and included in full for academic comparison, annotation, and study.

Perfect for students, teachers, and modern readers seeking to experience Hawthorne's dark allegory without losing its depth, Young Goodman Brown: Restored for the Modern Mind bridges classic literature and modern clarity -- allowing the story's moral descent into the forest to speak as powerfully now as it did nearly two centuries ago.

Includes:

•
Full modernized and original texts

•
Clean, minimalist layout for focused reading

•
Ideal for classroom, discussion, or personal reflection
