Sarah Orne Jewett was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet who became a leading figure in late nineteenth-century literature. She is widely recognized as an important practitioner of American literary regionalism, a movement focused on capturing the unique character of specific locales.
Jewett is best known for her local color works set along or near the southern coast of Maine. Through her detailed depictions of this coastal region, she helped define the regionalist genre, capturing the spirit of the area's communities and landscapes in her prose and poetry.
