CHAPTER XI

RECORDERS OF THE NEW ENGLAND DECLINE


The New England school, which had so dominated the mid-nineteenth
century, left, as we have seen, no heirs. As the great figures of the
"Brahmins" disappeared one by one, vigorous young leaders from without
the Boston circle came into their places, but the real succession--the
native New England literary generation after Emerson--was feminine.
During the decade from 1868 the following books, written by women born,
the most of them, in those thirties which had witnessed the beginnings
of the earlier group, came from the American press:

    1868. _Little Women_, Louisa M. Alcott (1832-1888).
    1868. _The Gates Ajar_, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844-1911).
    1870. _Verses_, Helen Hunt Jackson (1831-1885).
    1872. _Poems_, Celia Thaxter (1836-1894).
    1873. _The Saxe Holm Stories_, "Saxe Holm."
    1875. _One Summer_, Blanche Willis Howard (1847-1898).
    1875. _After the Ball and Other Poems_, Nora Perry (1841-1896).
    1877. _Deephaven_, Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909).
    1878. _The China Hunter's Club_, Annie Trumbull Slosson (1838----).
