Produktbeschreibung
Rose of Dutcher s Coolly examines the evolution of a singular rural girl whose intellectual spark and emotional intensity set her apart from her surroundings. Growing up in a secluded midwestern valley, she possesses an unusual sensitivity to language and a powerful yearning for something beyond the fields and forests that define her world. The relationship with her father becomes central, colored by love, misunderstanding, and a widening emotional gap as she matures. After her mother s death, Rose develops a deeper introspective life, imagining and interpreting the world with a poetic lens that isolates her from others. The beginning focuses on her internal world, where questions of mortality and purpose emerge through her solitary games and profound thoughts. Her deep connection to the land clashes with her restless imagination and drive for higher education, setting up an internal conflict between belonging and becoming. As Rose looks toward Madison and the intellectual life it promises, the novel explores the early stirrings of identity, womanhood, and self-definition within the limits of class, geography, and family loyalty.
Autorenporträt
Hannibal Hamlin Garland was an American novelist, poet, essayist, short story author, Georgist, and psychical researcher. He is best known for his fiction about hardworking Midwestern farmers. Hannibal Hamlin Garland was born on a farm near West Salem, Wisconsin, on September 14, 1860, as the second of four children of Richard Garland of Maine and Charlotte Isabelle McClintock. The boy was named after Abraham Lincoln's vice president, Hannibal Hamlin. He grew up on numerous Midwestern farms before relocating to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1884 to pursue a writing career. He read diligently at the Boston Public Library. There he grew infatuated with Henry George's views and the Single Tax Movement. George's beliefs influenced several of his writings, including Main-Travelled Roads (1891), Prairie Folks (1892), and his novel Jason Edwards (1892). Main-Travelled Roads was his first big hit. It was a compilation of short stories inspired by his time on the farm. He serialized a biography of Ulysses S. Grant in McClure's Magazine before turning it into a book in 1898. The same year, Garland visited the Yukon to observe the Klondike Gold Rush, which inspired The Trail of the Gold Seekers (1899).
