LOCAL COLOR
19th-century Regional Writing in the United States
SARAH ORNE JEWETT (1849-1909)
Because she was born in Berwick, Maine, just a hop, skip and jump from Boston and came from an upper-middle class family, Jewett found that her status as a woman and "provincial" was not a permanent obstacle to full participation in the marketplace of high culture. As a young adult, she developed ties to a very strong female community. This amazing circle constituted a powerful network (available soon) which enabled women like Jewett to develop full-fledged careers, even amidst a conservaative social environment which frowned upon proper "ladies" engaging in activities outside the home. This network has been the source of controversy between feminist and gay scholars because at the core of her female network, Jewett enjoyed a life-long 'romantic friendship' with
Because Jewett is probably among the best-known of the 19th-century regionalists, her canon has often been used to represent the genre as a whole. Scholars frequently characterize Jewett's work, and the writings of regionalists in general, as nostalgic and escapist. There is much to be said on the topic, but I would like to call attention to tales which Jewett wrote about the Irish (an immigrant group whose presence in Boston and New York was the subject of concern to the region's older residents) and also about the post-war South. These stories serve as a reminder that her perspective one she shared with the other Anglo-American women in her female networkwas in some places modestly enlightened, in others, limited by the spirit of the times.

Classroom Issues and Strategies
I've encountered some problems teaching Jewett's Country of the Pointed Firs because at first it seems dull to students, but they love "A White Heron" (hereafter WH) and I'm confident that they will also respond enthusiastically to "The Foreigner" (hereafter F), though I have not taught it. (There is, by the way, a film of WH that many people find excellent.) Students often don't like the ending of WH (the author's intrusion) and are baffled by it; they wonder about Sylvia's motherwhat's Jewett saying about her?and about why the girl's grandmother sides with the man. Also they wonder why the bird is male.
Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
Both of these stories are characteristic of Jewett, not only in focusing on women but also in focusing on women-centered or women-dominated space, geographic and psychic. The existence and meaning of such space probably identify the most basic theme in Jewett. Female-defined space is celebrated in F, which shows the boundaries of such space transcending the physical world and also national and ethnic barriers. The bonds between women find expression in and are grounded in the acts of mutual nurture, healing, story-telling, shelter, feeding, touching, and transmission of wisdom denigrated in the dominant culture as witchcraft. Female-defined reality is threatened but then reaffirmed, at least for the present, in WH, in which the intrusion of a man from the city into the grandmother/cow/girl-controlled rural space upsets the daily harmony, and potentially the life-balance itself, of nature.

Sarah Orne Jewett
Named for her paternal grandfather and grandmother, Theodora Sarah Orne Jewett was the second of three girls born to Theodore Herman and Caroline Frances Perry Jewett in the New England village of South Berwick, Maine. Descending on both sides from pre-Revolutionary families that had built up comfortable incomes from shipbuilding and seafaring, she was the daughter and granddaughter of physicians. As a child Jewett wished to become a doctor herself. Poor health thwarted that ambition even as it encouraged her close relationship with her father, who took her with him on medical calls to build up her strength. These trips through rural and small-town Maine provided her, by her own account, with material for her writing throughout her career.
Upon graduation from Berwick Academy in 1865, Jewett began writing short fiction. She also published poetry, literature for children, and two novels, one of which

    http://www.edwardsly.com/jewett.htm
    Sarah Orne Jewett
    Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909) was born in South Berwick, Maine. Her father was a country doctor, and she often accompanied him on his horse-and-buggy rounds among sick people on the local farms. She later said that she got her real education from these trips rather than from her classes at Miss Rayne's School and the Berwick Academy. She had a fine ear for local speech and the native idiom, which she used to good effect in her stories. Impressed as a girl by the sympathetic depiction of local color in the fiction of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Jewett began to write stories herself, publishing her earliest one, "Jenny Garrow's Lovers," in a Boston weekly when she was eighteen years old. Shortly after her twentieth birthday, her work was accepted by the prestigious Atlantic Monthly, and her career was launched. Jewett published her first collection of stories, Deephaven, in 1877. She read the work of Gustave Flaubert, Emile Zola, Leo Tolstoy, and Henry James, and her style gradually matured, as is evident in the stories that make up the 1886 volume A White Heron and Other Stories. Jewett took her favorite motto from Flaubert, "One should write of ordinary life as if one were writing history." Her masterpiece, The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), is a book of scrupulously observed short sketches linked by the narrator's account of her stay in a Maine seacoast village and her growing involvement in the quiet lives of its people.
