Autorenporträt
Holman Day (1865–1935) was an American author, best known for his influence in Maine-related regional literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Day's works often delineated the rustic life of New England, focusing particularly on the state of Maine, which served as an inspiration for his vivid storytelling. 'Joan of Arc of the North Woods' remains a hallmark among his literary contributions, encapsulating the spirit of adventure and the steadfast character of those that inhabit the titular region. Day's literary style often incorporated a blend of romance, action, and a nostalgia for rural traditions, all the while capturing the spoken vernacular of his chosen locale. His body of work is commendable for its contribution to the regionalist movement in literature, which strove to portray the particularities of specific American landscapes and cultures. Day's homespun narratives and strong characters, such as those found in 'Joan of Arc of the North Woods,' not only entertained but also preserved the cultural ethos of a fading pastoral era. As such, Holman Day solidified his place in the canon of American regional writers, earning recognition for his ability to craft engaging stories imbued with the essence of Maine's people and their way of life.
