About this book

Short Fiction of Sarah Orne Jewett and Mary Wilkins Freeman: Including "the Country of the Pointed Firs by Jewett, Sarah Orne. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780452008922.

This extraordinary volume brings together the works of two American writers. Both Jewett and Freeman used as their settings the small towns of 19th-century New England, both created as their principal characters mature and elderly women. Their artistic domain encompassed the quiet but sharply etched dramas of everyday existence and individual struggles for survival and fulfillment. Taken together, these stories offer the modern reader entry into a lost American past and insight into human dilemmas still pertinent today.
