The Country of the Pointed Firs and Selected Short Fiction, by Sarah Orne Jewett, is part of theBarnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: New introductions commissioned from today''s top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader''s viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriate All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences--biographical, historical, and literary--to enrich each reader''s understanding of these enduring works. Even the title of Sarah Orne Jewett''s most celebrated work seems to revel in the love of landscape and language that flows through it. Though nominally a novel, The Country of the Pointed Firs lacks the coherent, unifying plot of more traditional books. Instead, Jewett creates a mosaic of tales and character sketches, all set in the fictional Maine fishing hamlet of Dunnet Landing. The unnamed narrator, an unmarried female writer (like Jewett herself), has come to the town seeking a summer of solitude and work. But she''s drawn to the villagers she meets. Most of them are over sixty, alone, and covering a roiling inner ocean of feeling with a craggy exterior as rocky as the ragged coastline. Entranced by their stories, she allows them to enter her life. When the book first appeared, Willa Cather prophesied that the "young students of American literature in far distant years to come will take up this book and say ''a masterpiece.''" Now, more than a century later, Cather''s words resonate more urgently than ever. This edition also includes "A White Heron," "A Winter Courtship," "A Native of Winby," and several other of Jewett''s cogent short stories. Ted Olson is Associate Professor at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee, and the author of Blue Ridge Folklife (University Press of Mississippi, 1998).

The Queen's Twin and Other Stories, by Sarah Orne Jewett

Set in Dunnet Landing, Maine in a summer of the late 1800s, "The Country of the Pointed Firs", is the story of a female writer seeking isolation and inspiration for her writing in a small coastal New England town. Rich with the dialect of the region and the culture of the time "The Country of the Pointed Firs" is an intimate examination of the relationships amongst the members of a rural New England fishing village in the late 1800s.

The first collection of the author's stories about Irish immigrants, originally published in several magazines between 1889 and 1901, contains eight tales representing the first serious treatment of its subject by an important literary figure. UP.

Mujeres que reclaman su derecho a trabajar en un mundo de hombres, valientes guerreras indias, forajidas del Oeste americano, inmigrantes sin pelos en la lengua, heroínas atrapadas en tenebrosos bosques... Estas son algunas de las protagonistas de La nueva mujer: relatos de escritoras estadounidenses del siglo XIX. Las autoras elegidas por Gloria Fortún para esta antología —mujeres de vanguardia que desafiaron con la pluma y el papel las convenciones sociales— son el símbolo de los anhelos y luchas de una época que asistió al surgimiento del empoderamiento femenino. La nueva mujer reúne a diez escritoras que, después de haberse forjado una carrera a la sombra de un canon literario eminentemente masculino, brillan ahora con más fuerza que nunca gracias a la riqueza y diversidad de unos relatos que reflejan desde múltiples perspectivas la realidad de la condición femenina en un tiempo marcado por profundas transformaciones políticas y sociales. Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Sarah Orne Jewett, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sui Sin Far, Zitkala-Ša, Susan Glaspell, Harriet E. Prescott Spofford, Catharine Maria Sedgwick y Mary Austin son las diez escritoras que forman parte de un libro imprescindible para comprender el nacimiento de la "nueva mujer" en Estados Unidos durante el siglo XIX. Esta edición incluye un estudio crítico escrito por Gloria Fortún que ayuda a contextualizar la obra de cada una de las autoras seleccionadas.

Relatos de escritoras estadounidenses del siglo XIX

La nueva mujer

La tierra de los abetos puntiagudos (1896) es la obra narrativa más conocida de la autora norteamericana Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909). Relata las vivencias de una escritora que pasa el verano en un tranquilo pueblo pesquero en la costa del estado de Maine. En una prosa tan sencilla como impactante, la narradora-protagonista nos cuenta como, paulatinamente, se ve inmersa en la curiosa gama de personajes que conforman la comunidad de Dunnet Landing y, a la vez, aprende a ver con ojos renovados la belleza del paisaje de Nueva Inglaterra. Estructurada en una serie de episodios encadenados, esta novela puede parecer a primera vista un ejemplo típico de la escritura costumbrista norteamericana, Sin embargo, mezcla los rasgos del realismo decimonónico y una base subyacente de la experiencia visionaria del transcendentalismo.
