關於這本電子書
In "The Tory Lover," Sarah Orne Jewett expertly weaves a tale set during the tumultuous times of the American Revolutionary War, illuminating the moral and emotional complexities of loyalty and betrayal. Employing her characteristic rural New England prose, Jewett blends lyrical descriptions with incisive character studies, revealing the struggles of individuals caught between personal affection and national allegiance. This historical romance transcends mere political discourse, inviting readers to explore the often-painful intersections of love, duty, and identity against a vividly painted backdrop of colonial life. Sarah Orne Jewett, a prominent figure in American literature, is well-known for her exploration of New England life and its intricate social fabric. Jewett's upbringing in the coastal town of South Berwick, Maine, imbued her with a deep appreciation for regional culture and history, themes that resonate throughout her works. Having been influenced by the literary movements of her time, particularly realism and local color, Jewett's carefully crafted narratives often reflect her progressive views on women's autonomy and social justice, providing rich context to her writing. I highly recommend "The Tory Lover" for those seeking a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant experience. This novel is not only a stirring romance but also a compelling reflection on the diverse human responses to conflict and change. Through Jewett's keen insights, readers will gain appreciation for the complexities of loyalty and love in the face of challenging societal dynamics.
關於作者
Sarah Orne Jewett (1849–1909) was an American novelist and short story writer, best known for her local color works set in or around South Berwick, Maine, her native town that would serve as the fictionalized Deephaven and Dunnet Landing in her writing. Born into a well-established New England family, Jewett was encouraged by her father to pursue literature, and she began to write from an early age. Her literary talent emerged distinctly with the publication of 'Deephaven' in 1877, and further flourished in works such as 'A Country Doctor' and 'A White Heron.' Jewett's style evokes a unique sense of place and the poignancy of rural life, heavily influenced by her relationships and her observation of the quickly changing world around her. One of her later novels, 'The Tory Lover' (1901), harmonizes her narrative craftsmanship with a historical theme, diverging somewhat from the pastoral settings more typical in her work. As a regionalist writer, Jewett's work is characterized by its gentle realism and emphasis on the female experience. Her contributions to American literature have been recognized for capturing the transition from the staunch, colonial New England traditions to a more modern perspective, with her rich characterizations providing a delicate preservation of the idiosyncrasies of the era's provincial life. Her legacy endures in the Sarah Orne Jewett House in South Berwick, now a museum, which is emblematic of her impact on the literary tapestry of her time.
