In scene after memorable scene of Sarah Orne Jewett's fictional masterpiece, The Country of Pointed Firs, the Maine-born author recorded what she felt were the rapidly disappearing traditions, manners, and dialect of Maine coast natives at the turn of the twentieth century. In luminous evocations of their lives -- a happy family reunion, an old seaman's ghostly vision, a disappointed lover's self-imposed exile, and more -- Jewett created startlingly real portraits of individual New Englanders and a warm, humorous, and compassionate vision of the New England character.
