Produktbeschreibung
Alice Brown's novel 'Old Crow' beautifully captures the essence of rural New England life in the late 19th century. Through vivid descriptions and compelling narrative, Brown tells the story of a young woman's struggle for independence and self-discovery in a society that severely restricts her freedom. The book's lyrical prose and detailed character development make it a must-read for those interested in American literature of this period, reminiscent of the works of Louisa May Alcott and Harriet Beecher Stowe. 'Old Crow' stands out for its exploration of gender roles and societal norms in a time of change and evolution. With its themes of love, loss, and resilience, the novel offers readers a poignant reflection on the human experience. Alice Brown, a prominent figure in the American literary scene of the late 19th century, was known for her insightful portrayals of women's lives and societal conventions. Her own background as a New Englander and her keen observations of human behavior undoubtedly influenced the creation of 'Old Crow.' With a deep understanding of the challenges and aspirations of women in her time, Brown crafted a story that continues to resonate with readers today. I highly recommend 'Old Crow' to readers interested in historical fiction, feminist literature, and American regionalism. Alice Brown's masterful storytelling and profound insights into the human condition make this novel a timeless classic worth exploring.

Autorenporträt
Alice Brown, an American novelist, poet, and playwright, was best known for her local color stories. She also wrote a chapter for the collaborative novel The Whole Family (1908). She was born in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, and graduated from the Robinson Female Seminary in Exeter in 1876. She eventually worked as a schoolteacher for five years before relocating to Boston to write full-time in 1884. She began working for the Christian Register before moving on to the Youth's Companion in 1885. She was a prolific novelist for many years, but her fame declined around the turn of the twentieth century. She wrote one book per year until she stopped in 1935. She communicated with Rev. Michael Earls of the College of the Holy Cross and Father J. M. Lelen of Falmouth, Kentucky, with whom she shared poems. Yale University and Holy Cross presently contain the only substantial collections of her letters, as she directed that the majority of her personal correspondence be destroyed upon her death. Brown died in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1948.
