Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the daily life and social customs of a rural, 19th-century German Separatist community in Ohio. The author's keen observations capture the subtle tensions between tradition and progress within the community. Through vivid descriptions of their quaint practices and beliefs, the book offers a unique glimpse into a world both familiar and foreign. The author's intimate portrayal of the community's inhabitants reveals their hopes, dreams, and struggles. The reader encounters a cast of memorable characters, including the melancholy sulphur-woman and her hapless husband, who lead lives of quiet desperation amidst the community's idyllic setting. Through these characters, the author explores the complexities of human nature and the ways in which societal norms can both nurture and stifle individual growth. The book's evocative prose and insightful commentary provide a nuanced understanding of the community's unique way of life. It sheds light on the challenges and rewards of living in a close-knit, isolated society, and raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of community, conformity, and the search for meaning in life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

About the Author

Constance Fenimore Woolson was born 1840, in Claremont, NH. Three older sisters died from scarlet fever soon after Constance's birth, and the family decided to move west to start a new life. They relocated in Cleveland, Ohio, where Constance grew up. She attended Cleveland Female Seminary, and finished off her education at a fashionable boarding school in New York. Woolson acquired a taste for travel at an early age. She accompanied her father on business trips throughout Ohio and Wisconsin, her family vacationed on Mackinac Island, where they owned a summer cottage, she went to school in New York, visited Cooperstown, and toured New England. On these trips, Woolson encountered a variety of regional types and terrains--her keen eye for place and her interest in cultural differences would later find expression in her fiction and travel pieces. The Civil War was the central event of Woolson's young adulthood, and became for her an emotional fulcrum against which she measured later times. She called it "the heart and spirit of my life" in letter to her friend Edmund Clarence Stedman, and remarked that "everything has seemed tame to me since." She eventually wrote a number of stories set in the Reconstruction South; these often hinge on the strong feelings evoked by the War and are some of her most emotion-laden works. By the War's end, Woolson already assumed she would never marry. In 1869 her father died; the following year Woolson became a steady contributor to literary magazines. She had written for her own amusement since childhood, but now she began to write seriously, and to think of herself as an author. Her pride in her kinship to James Fenimore Cooper, her mother's uncle, perhaps helped her from the first to envision writing as an artistic calling, not a business venture. Woolson was a literary success almost from the start, and soon her stories, poetry, and sketches were appearing regularly in periodicals such as The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, and Scribner's. Her best early work were stories set in the Great Lakes region; many featured characters who lived lives of isolation in inaccessible wildernesses. Woolson's detailed descriptions of landscape and a tough-minded realism put her in the ranks of early local colorists such as Bret Harte, whose fiction she greatly admired.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.

Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.

We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
