    Extractions: It can be difficult in our secular age to keep the spiritual lives of women in the forefront of our minds when teaching women's history. Susan Flagg Poole's Lost Legacy provides a needed corrective to secular women's history, and offers tantalizing biographical tidbits that motivate the reader to learn more about the ten fascinating nineteenth-century women whose lives are briefly summarized in this slender volume. Although this book unabashedly promotes the Swedenborg philosophy, the women's biographies remind us that the lives of women in the nineteenth century were, after all, unabashedly spiritual in dimension. The women in this anthology are united not only in their Swedenborg belief, but also in their social or educational background. They were writers, musicians, artists or activists who also taught school, raised children, and participated in local and national reform movements. Their idealistic views and strong beliefs that led them to make "an angelic heaven of the human race" also led them, while being sustained by their faith, to become leaders in their respective causes during an age when being a leader and woman was a Herculean task (p.xvii). Each brief biography is titled and is accompanied by a quote from Emanuel Swedenborg.

    Extractions: Domestic Goddesses Home Domestic Goddess Sarah Orne Jewett was born to an old New England family, replete with the types of characters that appear in her stories sea captains, independent women, and country doctors. Jewett's early life was very much like the one she sketches in her novel A Country Doctor; Jewett and Nan Prince share the characteristics of an independent childhood followed by an unconventional womanhood. (For more on Nan Prince, click here ). Jewett was raised with tons of books in and around her home; she was virtually fed on words. It seems only natural that she should be drawn to write. Her mother was Caroline Frances and her father was Theodore Herman Jewett (23). On Sept 3, 1902, both Sarah was in a serious a carriage wreck when their horse slipped on a loose rock and stumbled. This accident effectively ended Jewett's writing career. Both Sarah and her sister Rebecca were thrown from the carriage, but while Rebecca was relatively unhurt, Sarah suffered a concussion and some damage to the neck. Speculation is that perhaps she had a cracked vertebra, but it was never officially diagnosed. She had pain, dizzy spells, memory loss and lost the ability to concentrate for the seven years until she died, of unrelated causes (349-362). Jewett's work has often been criticized as nothing more than "sketches," with very little plot and therefore, not worthy of much critical study. Jewett herself realized this about her work, writing to her editor

    Extractions: SARAH ORNE JEWETT 1849 - 1909 Sarah Orne Jewett was an American Fiction writer - a contemporary of Mark Twain - who grew up and lived for most of her life in South Berwick, Maine. Strongly recognised as one of the best regionalist writers of the period, most of her works are based on the countryside and characters best known to her from this area of New England and provide a valuable insight into that area in the late 19th century. According to FCJ's genealogy Sarah Orne Jewett (#6571 in his Genealogy) was the daughter of Dr Theodore Harmon Jewett (1815 - 1878) and his wife Caroline Frances, daughter of William and Abigail (Gilman) Perry. The "Orne" is from Sarah's paternal grandmother Sarah Orne (died 1819), daughter of Captain James and Sarah Orne of Portsmouth and first of four wives to Captain Theodore Furber Jewett (born 1787). Sarah Orne Jewett was born in South Berwick, Maine on September 3rd 1849, one of three children, all girls, the others being Mary Rice Jewett (born 1847) and Caroline Augusta Jewett (born 1855) who married Edwin C Eastman in 1878. Sarah was the 6x great grand-daughter of Maximillian Jowett through Joseph/Jonathan/Benjamin/Benjamin/Dearborn/Theodore F and her father Theodore Harman Jewett. It was her grandfather Captain Theodore Furber Jewett who first settled in South Berwick and was part owner in the ship-yard there, the former site of which, on the "

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909), author and poet, was born and lived in South Berwick, Maine. Sarah Orne Jewett, it has been noted, gave a "permanence to a disappearing order of New England, the remote provincial life which had lingered a few years after the dissolution of the West Indian trade before being engulfed by the new civilization of smoke and steam." She published her first article at the age of nineteen and went on to write a number of novels, a collection of children's stories, and many sketches of country life. Perhaps her best known works are The Country of the Pointed Firs and the short story "A White Heron." In 1901, Bowdoin College recognized Jewett's contribution to American literature by awarding her an honorary Litt.D.the first the school ever conferred upon a woman. Biographical information from

    Extractions: A B C D ... Scholars Index The Country of the Pointed Firs : And Other Stories by Sarah Orne Jewett , Anita Shreve (Introduction) In 1896, at the age of forty-seven, Sarah Orne Jewett published this classic novel of a female writer looking for seclusion and inspiration in the coastal town of Dunnet Landing, Maine. Returning to the women and men of small New England towns for the accompanying collection of short fiction, this remarkable volume weaves a colorful and moving tapestry of the grand complexities, joys, and beauties of life. Modeled in part on Flaubert's sketches of life in provincial France, this collection of stories offers a richly detailed portrait of a seaport on the Maine coast as seen through the eyes of a summer visitor. Against evocative imagery of the sky, the sea, and the earth itself, Jewett celebrates the friendships shared by the town's women, capturing the spirit of community that sustains the declining town.

    http://www.wwnorton.com/college/english/naal5/explore/jewett.htm
    
    Extractions: Biography Sarah Orne Jewett was a regional writer who grew up in the coastal town of South Berwick, Maine. Her father was a country doctor who allowed his daughter to accompany him on his rounds; many of the rural people Jewett encountered inspired her later fiction. In 1869 one of Jewett's first stories was accepted for publication in the Atlantic Monthly by William Dean Howells. With Howells's encouragement, Jewett continued to craft tales about the rural inhabitants of "Deephaven," a fictional town based on the bygone days of South Berwick. Strong women populated her rural tales, and strong women comprised her friends in the artistic circles of Boston in the 1870s; Annie Adams Fields, wife of the late publisher James T. Fields, would be her closest companion from 1881 until her death. Jewett's works include A Country Doctor A White Heron (1886), and her classic Country of the Pointed Firs Explorations Compared to the NAAL stories by James and Wharton , Jewett's A White Heron (1886) has such a simple plot that it might suggest a children's story. A quiet young girl, raised in the country and happy alone in nature, declines to tell a hunter how to find the nest of a white heron. The way the story is told, however, makes it a remarkable and even experimental work of American regionalism and realism.

    http://www.dartmouth.edu/acad-inst/upne/0-87451-826-1.html
    
    Extractions: The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896) is Sarah Orne Jewett's most popular book. In its elegantly constructed sketches, a worldly, anonymous writer spends the summer in a tiny Maine fishing village where she hopes to find peace and solitude. As she gains the acceptance and trust of her hosts, the community's power and complexity are slowly revealed. While its episodes portray the difficulty and loneliness of rural life, they also display its dignity and strength, particularly as expressed in the bonds between women: mothers, daughters, and friends. This centennial edition contains a facsimile of the original text, thereby restoring the novel to Jewett's own version, which had been considerably altered in other published versions, plus four related stories. Further enhancing the importance of this volume is editor Sarah Way Sherman's introduction, which includes a sketch of Jewett's life and professional development, a commentary on textual accuracy, and a discussion of the book's themes and techiques as well as its historical context.
