This is a collection of new essays on one of the most important works of New England local colour fiction, The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett. It builds on feminist literary scholarship that affirms the importance and value of Jewett's work, but goes beyond previously published studies by offering an analysis of how race, nationalism, and the literary marketplace shape her narrative. The volume constitutes a major rethinking of Jewett's contribution to American literature, and will be of broad interest to the fields of American literary studies, feminist cultural criticism, and American studies.
Industry Reviews
"...the five essays in this book...represent the very latest and best in feminist literary criticism." Key Reporter "Well-written and containing useful summaries of recent criticism, this work is valuable for anyone engaged with Jewett, feminist criticism, or regional writing. It should be the basis for more detailed examinations of 19th- and 20th-century visions of community. Recommended for all libraries." M. L. Robertson, Choice
