Autor

Rowland Evans Robinson (1833-1900) was an American artist and author known for his vivid depictions of rural life in New England during the late 19th century. Hailing from Vermont, Robinson's writings are imbued with the intimate knowledge and love he had for the land and the people who eked out their livelihoods there. His literary style often reflects a naturalistic perspective, capturing the dialects, customs, and experiences of his characters with authenticity and a gentle sense of humor. 'In New England Fields and Woods' stands out as a particularly evocative collection of essays and sketches in which Robinson portrays the changing seasons, the rhythms of work, and the quiet beauty of the New England countryside. His literary contributions are significant in the canon of regional American literature, as they preserve the flavor and spirit of a bygone era. Robinson's body of work serves not only as a window into the pastoral aspects of 19th-century America but also as a testament to his enduring affection for the simplicity and challenges of rural life. Throughout his career, Robinson demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to capturing the essence of the culture and environment that so deeply influenced his writing and illustrations.
