In Sarah Orne Jewett's romanticized community, the people have a deep appreciation for nature and live in harmony with it, unaffected by the ills of industrial development. Jewett's treatment of women and women's work have been of particular interest in the field of gender studies. The narrative's meticulous prose and important social message have made it important in the literary world as well.
