JEWETT, SARAH ORNE (1840-1909), American novelist, was born in South
Berwick, Maine, on the 3rd of September 1849. She was a daughter of the
physician Theodore H. Jewett (1815-1878), by whom she was greatly
influenced, and whom she has drawn in _A Country Doctor_ (1884). She
studied at the Berwick Academy, and began her literary career in 1869,
when she contributed her first story to the _Atlantic Monthly_. Her best
work consists of short stories and sketches, such as those in _The
Country of the Pointed Firs_ (1896). The People of Maine, with their
characteristic speech, manners and traditions, she describes with
peculiar charm and realism, often recalling the work of Hawthorne. She
died at South Berwick, Maine, on the 24th of June 1909.
Among her publications are: _Deephaven_ (1877), a series of sketches;
_Old Friends and New_ (1879); _Country By-ways_ (1881); _A Country
Doctor_ (1884), a novel; _A Marsh Island_ (1885), a novel; _A White
Heron and other Stories_ (1886); _The King of Folly Island and other
People_ (1888); _Strangers and Wayfarers_ (1890); _A Native of Winby
and other Tales_ (1893); _The Queen's Twin and other Stories_ (1899),
and _The Tory Lover_ (1901), an historical novel.
