Autorenporträt

Sarah Pratt McLean Greene (1856-1935) was an American novelist and writer, primarily known for her realistic depictions of rural New England life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Greene's writing career was not only prolific but also diverse, encompassing the essence of New England character and landscape. Born in Simsbury, Connecticut, Greene was the daughter of a clergyman and developed a keen eye for the nuances of social and domestic life in her regional settings. Her most significant contribution to American literature is 'Cape Cod Folks', a novel illustrating the unique dialect and customs of Cape Cod's inhabitants, which gained considerable popularity for its humor and character studies. The book stands out for its authentic representation of the setting, a testament to Greene's observational skills and her ability to translate these observations into engaging storytelling. Her literary style often intertwined with satirical undertones, Greene delved into themes of gender roles, class divisions, and community dynamics, revealing the intricacies and sometimes hidden realities of the period's socio-cultural fabric. Greene's works have been appreciated for their narrative charm and the snapshot they provide of a bygone era, played out through memorable characters and vivid depictions of the New England countryside. She remains an important figure in regional American literature, with 'Cape Cod Folks' serving as a cornerstone of her literary legacy.
