Autorenporträt
American novelist, poet, and short story writer Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909) is renowned for her contributions to regional literary realism. She was born in South Berwick, Maine, on September 3, 1849, and lived there for the majority of her life. Jewett was raised in a prominent New England household and went to local schools. Jewett is primarily linked to the literary trend known as American literary regionalism, sometimes known as local colour fiction, because her writing frequently focuses on the people and environments of rural New England. Her paintings are highly praised for their realistic and poignant portrayals of small-town life, which capture the subtleties of nature, community, and the shifting roles of women in the late 19th century. Jewett's work is distinguished by its genuineness, simplicity, and attention to small aspects in daily life. She frequently praised the wonders of nature and took inspiration from the people and places she saw in her own New England. Because of her literary contributions to American literature, Sarah Orne Jewett is still researched and valued for her understanding of human experience and regional culture.
