Mary Wilkins Freeman (1852-1930), born in Randolph, Massachusetts,
began to publish stories about New England in the early 1880s. In
the following decades, Freeman drew widespread praise for her
intimate portraits of women and her realistic depictions of rural
New England life. She published short stories, essays, novels,
plays, and children's books. Her stories, written in a clear and
direct prose, are remarkable for their unpretentious, sympathetic
portrayals of the lives of ordinary New Englanders of Freeman's
era. Many of the stories depict rebellion against oppressive social
and private conditions. Others describe conflicting desires for
independence and lasting relationships. This volume of twenty-eight
stories is the first to provide a representative sample of
Freeman's finest work, from all phases of her career. It makes
plain why Freeman (in the words of editor Mary R. Reichardt) is
widely recognized as an important figure "in the history of
American women's fiction . . . and the development of the American
short story."
