After the Western Reserve: The Ohio Fiction of Jessie Brown Pounds

By Sandra Parker

Book Overview

In her fiction, Jessie Brown Pounds preserved the flavor of Ohio's rural village culture as the nineteenth century drew to a close. This anthology rediscovers Pounds's varied works and reminds modern students that Middle-Western culture included women writers as social critics and mythmakers. Included are short stories, sketches, one undated short story published posthumously in 1921, and Rachael Sylvestre, a first-person historical novel written in 1904.
