| Abstract | Similarities and parallels so striking as to constitute a memorable chapter in cross-cultural literary history exist between Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Kalidasa's Abhi jnana-Sakuntala (henceforth referred to as Sakuntala)^ perhaps the most celebrated play of classical Sanskrit antiquity, and the best known in India and abroad. Far removed in space and time, significantly different in theme, form, and style, Kalidasa's play and Hawthorne's novel are nevertheless so remarkably similar in numerous ways as to make a comparison between them not only profitable but inevitable. |
