Does anyone know what time period the book was written in? (As in what time period the characters are in, not when Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote it.)

Yes, the story is set in the mid-seventeenth century - around the 1640s to be exact - in a purtian town in Massachusetts called Salem.

Mid seventeenth century, but no exact dates were given throughout the book.

It seems to be the earliest period in American history, shortly after the landing of the Mayflower, when America was struggling to be a viable Christian community, just as we are now.
