Produktbeschreibung
In "Strangers and Wayfarers," Sarah Orne Jewett crafts a tapestry of interconnected stories that illuminate the lives of ordinary individuals in a rural New England setting. Through her nuanced characterization and vivid descriptions, Jewett captures the essence of human experience, exploring themes of connection, displacement, and the subtle joys and sorrows of daily existence. The literary style is marked by naturalism and a keen attention to the interplay between characters and their environment, resonating with the cultural context of late 19th-century America, where industrialization and urbanization began to transform traditional ways of life. Sarah Orne Jewett, an eminent figure in American literature, dedicated much of her writing to depicting the intricacies of New England life, drawing from her own experiences growing up in South Berwick, Maine. Her deep affection for her homeland and the people therein profoundly influenced her work, enabling her to convey intimate portrayals of community and individuality. Jewett was not only a contemporary of major literary figures such as Willa Cather and Henry James but also a trailblazer for women writers, bringing a distinctly feminine perspective to the American literary canon. Recommended for readers interested in regional literature and character-driven narratives, "Strangers and Wayfarers" stands as a testament to Jewett's skill in illuminating the human condition. This collection invites reflection on the intersections of lives that often go unnoticed, making it an essential read for anyone looking to appreciate the quiet depth of rural life and the complexities of human relationships.

Autorenporträt
Sarah Orne Jewett (1849 - 1909) was an American novelist, short story writer and poet, best known for her local color works set along or near the southern seacoast of Maine. Jewett is recognized as an important practitioner of American literary regionalism. She published her first important story in the Atlantic Monthly at age 19 and her reputation grew throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Her literary importance arises from her careful, if subdued, vignettes of country life that reflect a contemporary interest in local color rather than plot. Jewett possessed a keen descriptive gift. Jewett made her reputation with the novella The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896). A Country Doctor (1884), a novel reflecting her father and her early ambitions for a medical career and A White Heron (1886), a collection of short stories are among her finest work. Some of Jewett's poetry was collected in Verses (1916) and she also wrote three children's books. Willa Cather described Jewett as a significant influence on her development as a writer and "feminist critics have since championed her writing for its rich account of women's lives and voices."
