Abstract:
Do some ideas "survive all changes of time and national vicissitude"? The question belongs to Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909), the South Berwick, Maine author whose fictions are spun from communities of widowed women living along the Maine seacoast after the death of the shipping industry in Maine. A regional author ever mindful of differences between individuals, regions, and nations, whose fictional sea-captains know "a hundred ports . . . and could see outside the battle for town clerk here in Dunnet,"Jewett nevertheless invents female characters who share uncanny, sexualized, exactly symmetrical understandings between them. This essay explores the concept of symmetry and the corresponding affects living in and around those figurations of lesbian desire. "The Queen's Twin" is the title of Jewett's most unusual section in her masterpiece,The Country of the Pointed Firs, and the moniker refers to Mis' Abby Martin, a Maine woman who is convinced that she and Queen Victoria are twins, despite the ocean between them. Throughout the stages of her life, Abby has tracked the similarities between them, including a shared birth date, marriage to men named Albert, sons named Edward, widowhood, and countless other shared realities. Abby's passionate interest in Victoria builds as much on the coincidence of their mutual birth and imagined twinship as on the differences in their stations. Abby's cognizance of their differences occasions the richness of these affective moments.

Full text
Abstract:
This study identifies environmentalist themes in the fiction and nonfiction of Sarah Orne Jewett, Kate Chopin, and Willa Cather and argues that these ideals are interdependent upon the authors’ humanistic objectives. Focusing on these three authors’ overlapping interest in topics such as women’s rights, environmental health, and Native American history, this dissertation calls attention to the presence of a frequently unexplored but distinct, traceable feminist environmental ethic in American women’s regional writing. This set of beliefs involves a critique of the threats posed by a patriarchal society to both the environment and its human inhabitants, particularly the women, and thus can be classified as proto-ecofeminist. Moreover, the authors’ shared emphasis on the benefits of local environmental knowledge and stewardship demonstrates vital characteristics of the bioregionalist perspective, a modern form of environmental activism that promotes sustainability at a local level and mutually beneficial relationships among human and nonhuman inhabitants of a naturally defined region. Thus, the study ultimately defines a particular form of women’s literary activism that emerged in the last decades of the nineteenth century and argues for these authors’ continued theoretical relevance to a twenty-first-century audience increasingly invested in understanding and resolving a global environmental predicament.

Abstract:
This thesis re-examines the purpose and value of New England women's local color fiction, asserting that local color functions as the groundwork on which the standards and practices of literary realism are based and as the way that nineteenth-century women writers could promote their domestic ministry. Furthermore, the thesis maintains that Stowe, Freeman, and Jewett utilized literary realism to publicize alternative theologies and progressive communities.

Abstract:
English
Ph.D.
There remains in Hawthorne criticism today, despite critical rediscovery of his texts in terms of the public sphere, an echo of denunciation that he did not do the cultural work that his contemporaries did, that he "distrusted" and "punished" women, and that his work is irrelevant to today's young readers. He has been largely neglected, as well, by contemporary environmental critics who have found nature in his texts to be insufficiently mimetic. This ecocritical reading of Hawthorne in conjunction with that of Catharine Maria Sedgwick and Sarah Orne Jewett resolves these critical problems in that he is established as a nature writer, narratively rendering nature observation (sketches) and an environmental agenda (tales and novels) of expiation for maternal wilderness penetration. The all-important work of Hawthorne might then be called ecological, making him highly relevant in today's world. He is relevant in terms of women, as well, as nature unfolds in gendered terms in his works, and he, along with Sedgwick, positions the human female at scenes of primal violence at the heart of New England colonization, which set in motion the devastation of the American wilderness. Hawthorne's female is a corrective presence to which males remain blind. Jewett envisions a post-white-masculine-hegemonic world of female ascendancy, based on female symbiosis with nature, the fruition of Hawthorne and Sedgwick's preferencing of the female. Environmental criticism examines the human-nature relationships and ecological subtexts in literary texts and encompasses a critique of American culture, a gendered understanding of the landscape, an application of geographical discussion of place and of concepts from ecology and conservation biology. It employs a multi-disciplinary perspective and calls for the addition of "worldnature" or "environmentality" to the categories of cultural criticism. This ecocritical approach combines the historical philosophical, deconstructive, and psychoanalytic perspective of Patocka, Lacan, Derrida, and Staten with ecofeminism, integrating matters of geology, ecology, art, nature writing, and quantum mechanical physics.

Abstract:
By the mid 1800s, American feminism began gaining momentum. Politicians, scientists, and clergymen all responded to the evolving call for reforms. More and more people adopted the view that women were oppressed by a male-centered society, and most women were isolated within the home. Women writers belonged to a small group of women whose voices had cultural weight and they had to negotiate between the demands of their writing and audience and their involvement and interest in the women's movement. At the turn of the century, Sarah Orne Jewett, Zitkala-SÌŒa, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman each had their respective audiences and expectations, and each woman had to balance her writing and her interest in the debate over women's role in society. For each author, three years of her life and work are isolated in order to take an in-depth look at the influences of the women's movement. In order to fully appreciate the complexities affecting the writing and the changes that writers had to face, both privately and publicly, the writers' personal lives, the political atmosphere, and the writing produced are studied. Key questions are asked of each author: How did she respond to reform movements? How did she use her career to influence and change ideas about women in the United States? Spanning from the 1880s into the 1920s, Jewett, Zitkala-SÌŒa, and Gilman each approached their work differently, and their work during this time highlights the complexity and connections of writing, politics, and life.

Buck-Perry, Cheri. "Authorizing the Reader: Narrative Construction in Sarah Orne Jewett's The Country of the Pointed Firs and Willa Cather's My Antonia." PDXScholar, 1995. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4872.

Full text
Abstract:
Although Willa Cather's My Antonia and Sarah Orne Jewett's The Country of the Pointed Firs have been highly regarded by numerous literary critics, neither text conforms to conventional expectations for narrative content or structure. Episodic in construction, the novels lack such traditional narrative ingredients as conflict, action, drama, and romance. Furthermore, explicit connections between episodes and stories related within the narratives are not drawn for the reader. Formalist and structuralist critics have approached the problem of structure in Cather and Jewett's works by employing conventional literary tools of analysis, by "unearthing" the narrative elements that we as readers and critics have come to expect: identifiable structure, a plot complete with conflict and resolution, and characters that develop. Likewise, many feminist critics have sought to uncover in Cather and Jewett's work the ideal elements for a woman's text such as the employment of a feminine method of writing. Unfortunately, both approaches utilize interpretive templates that would pin down meaning and thus "solve" the texts' seeming peculiarities. Instead of prescribing structure according to accepted conventions or ideals, this study attempts to describe the narrative construction of My Antonia and The Country of the Pointed Firs. I argue that these texts are not structures in a traditional linear fashion, but rather are "conversations" among a variety of "readers" -the narrator, other characters, and the actual readers of the text - who attempt to construct an understanding of the world around them, or the meaning of the overall story. The chapters in this thesis explore this dialogue present in Cather and Jewett's work; the various participating, as well as their proposed constructions. Both Cather and Jewett, through their innovative narrative techniques, dramatize the human need to make sense of life, our capacity to create meaning, and at the same time the fallibility of such constructions. By employing a form which resists conventional strategies of explanation, Cather and Jewett encourage an interpretative approach that favors cumulative readings, a certain responsiveness, and an allowance for indeterminacy.

Abstract:
Cette thèse se propose d’étudier comment, des années 1870 au tournant du XXe siècle, les récits des écrivains-femmes de Nouvelle-Angleterre, ceux de Sarah Orne Jewett notamment, vont choisir de récrire le lieu Nouvelle-Angleterre – territoire et locus littéraire –, à l’heure où, de centre symbolique de la nation, la Nouvelle-Angleterre devient région, non plus site d’une certaine généralité américaine, mais couleur locale. En optant pour un genre et un objet désormais considérés comme mineurs, ces écrivains-femmes vont faire de la place que leur désignent la nation et les lettres un « lieu » c’est-àdire un espace de création toujours continuée ; elles vont tirer parti de la malléabilité de la marge pour retailler à leur façon les tropes d’un imaginaire. En recentrant la lecture de ces textes sur le lieu Nouvelle-Angleterre, cette thèse ne veut pas tant réenraciner une écriture que redonner corps, histoire et mémoire, à un régionalisme que la critique s’est obstinée à dé-territorialiser
The thesis argues that New England women writers, and Sarah Orne Jewett principally among them, rewrote New England as a literary locus and territorial muse. Their rewriting is placed within the larger context of New England’s transition from a normative and synecdochic center of the nation to a region among others. By choosing a genre and a literary object which had been classified as minor, these women-writers transformed the place to which they had been assigned in the world of letters into a site of creation (lieu)–that is a site of continuous invention. They used the malleability of the margins to reshape the tropes of the New England imaginary in their own words. In lieu of a New England which has been interpreted alternatively as either a site of local color or, more recently, a deterritorialized region, the thesis reterritorializes the life and shape, history and memory of this locus which both framed the work of women writers at the turn of the twentieth century and was reinvented by them

Abstract:
Though her early writing owes much to nineteenth-century American Realism, Willa Cather experiments with male and female literary traditions while finding her own modern literary voice. In the process Cather gives nature an ambivalent role in My Ántonia, O Pioneers!, and Death Comes to the Archbishop. She produces a tension between rivers and gardens, places where nature and culture converge. Like Mary Austin and Sarah Orne Jewett, Willa Cather confronts the boundaries between humans and nature.

Abstract:
The third chapter of The Center of the World: Regional Writing and the Puzzles of Place-Time is titled “The Unexpected Jewett.” It analyzes Sarah Orne Jewett’s regionalist project, and argues for seeing religion as central to her work. Her beliefs offer a way of coordinating time and space, and inform her vision of transfiguring friendship. The chapter offers an assessment of the history and current state of Jewett criticism, a reading of the early story “A Late Supper,” and discussion of her writing for children. In terms of the concerns of the book as a whole, the center of Jewett’s world is the New England village, reimagined as a woman-centered, radically Christian democracy.
