Description of the Jewett Text Project

The Sarah Orne Jewett Text Project contains the complete, known published works of Sarah Orne Jewett, with the exception of a very small number of hard-to-find items.  Many of these appear in more than one version.  You may review the Bibliography for a chronological list; there is also an Alphabetical List of Texts.  

This site includes:
    A comprehensive secondary bibliography, with notes and many links to full-text articles.
    An extensive and growing collection of Jewett's correspondence.
    Annie Fields, a selection of her works.

This site is actively maintained and, therefore, correctable.  Should you find any errors, or if you are able to provide information or materials that might be added to this site, please contact: theller at coe period edu.
