Beschreibung

A collection that shows Freeman's many modes - romantic, gothic, and psychologically symbolic - as well as her use of pathos and sentimentality, humour, satire and irony. These stories centre on questions of women's integrity, courage and privation; explore the idea of masculinity; and dramatise the relationship between rural New England and modern culture and commerce. Also included here is 'The Jamesons', a series of sketches about village life reprinted for the first time since the turn of the 20th century.

Über den Autor

Renowned American writer Mary E. Wilkins Freeman made significant literary contributions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Freeman, who was born in Randolph, Massachusetts, on October 31, 1852, was raised in Vermont before relocating to Brattleboro. She had little formal schooling, but she went on to become a well-known author and prolific writer in American literature. The novels and short tales of Freeman that focus on the lives of rural New Englanders are her most well-known works. Her artwork frequently portrays the difficulties women have in a society that is going through social and economic change. Her astute observations and perceptive character portrayals offer a nuanced viewpoint on the difficulties of interpersonal relationships and cultural expectations. Throughout her multi-decade literary career, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's writings are still examined for their cultural insights and contributions to American literature.
