Autorenporträt
Theodora Sarah Orne Jewett was an American author best known for her fiction centered on life in small-town New England, particularly the coastal communities of Maine. Born on September 3, 1849, in South Berwick, Maine, she was the daughter of Theodore Herman Jewett, a physician, and Caroline Frances Perry. Her upbringing in a well-read household fostered a lifelong interest in literature, which she pursued alongside a deep appreciation for the natural world and the everyday experiences of those in her local surroundings. Educated at Berwick Academy, she was encouraged from a young age to read widely and write with precision and depth. She gained recognition for her short stories published in prominent magazines and solidified her reputation with works like The Country of the Pointed Firs. Jewett never married and lived most of her life in her hometown, drawing on her environment for inspiration. Her quiet yet richly detailed narratives earned her a lasting place in American literature before her death in South Berwick on June 24, 1909, at the age of 59.
