Autorenporträt

Alice Morse Earle (1851–1911) was a distinguished American historian and author renowned for her engaging books centered on the social and domestic life of the United States in the colonial and early federal periods. With a literary approach that combined a keen eye for detail and a narrative style rich in anecdotal charm, Earle contributed significantly to the popularization of early American history. Her scholarly pursuits were largely self-educated, a remarkable feat for a woman of her era. One of Earle's notable works, 'Sabbath in Puritan New England' (1891), delves into the religious observances and Sunday traditions of 17th-century New England Puritans, offering readers a vivid portrait of the austere and devout character of early American colonial society. Earle's authoritative and accessible writings have earned her lasting recognition as an influential figure in the field of history, particularly for her attention to the everyday lives of America's ancestors, which she brought to light with scrupulous research and a storyteller's voice. Her contribution to the cultural and domestic narratives of American history continues to be respected, inspiring subsequent generations of historians and casual readers alike.
