| DECORATION DAY by SARAH ORNE JEWETT | 27 Apr 2025 | 00:36:32 | |
DECORATION DAY by SARAH ORNE JEWETT More about Sarah's story 'Decoration Day' Three years after the Civil War ended, in 1868, General John A. Logan—the head of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans—established that May 30 should be set aside as Decoration Day, so-called from the tradition of decorating graves with flowers. More than five thousand participants gathered for the first Decoration Day in Arlington National Cemetery and lavished flowers and flags on some twenty thousand graves, and similar events took place in cemeteries all over the country. The commemoration spread more widely in subsequent years and by the 1880s the day was known in some places as Memorial Day, which over the course of the next century became the more common designation. It was only in 1968 that the federal government passed the law that, beginning in 1971, officially shifted the date to the last Monday in May. On the morning of Decoration Day, in either 1889 or 1890, Sarah Orne Jewett wrote from her home in South Berwick, Maine, to her friend and companion Annie Fields in Boston about the events planned for that day: After Jewett included the story in her collection A Native of Winby, the reviewer for The Writer singled it out as “one of the best stories that she has ever told,” and the poet John Greenleaf Whittier similarly wrote, just before his death, that the tale “was one of her very best.” In 1895 Jewett boasted to a reporter that the story had “kept its hold surprisingly and is making part of the exercises of the day this year.” And according to a handwritten note in a friend’s edition of A Native of Winby, Jewett later told a neighbor in Boston that “if she were remembered by any of her stories, she should be glad if it might be this one.” In the last century, however, the opinions of critics have been decidedly mixed. When Willa Cather was assembling a 1925 edition of Jewett’s best writings, she belittled it as a “conventional magazine story” and recalled a conversation with Jewett two decades earlier. “When I told her that ‘Decoration Day’ to me seemed more like other people’s stories, she said with a sigh that it was one of the ones that had grown old-fashioned.” Cather convinced the editor at Houghton Mifflin not to include it in the volume. Some of Jewett’s biographers have likewise dismissed the story as “sentimental.” But during his life the late Jewett scholar Richard Cary argued that the story is one of her finest—and by far the strongest of the many holiday-themed tales she published in magazines. The story “defines the pathos of short-lived gratitude,” Carey wrote, and Jewett “prevents pity from turning maudlin through an unexpected deliverance or a bracing touch of comedy.”
Decoration Day by Sarah Orne Jewett Two years before the publication of "Decoration Day," South Berwick erected a soldiers monument in honor of those who had sacrificed during the Civil War. Ceremony at the South Berwick Soldiers Monument c. 1900 The small park in which the monument still stands was at first sometimes called Jewett Park, as two Jewett family homes and Jewett Avenue stand nearby. This part of South Berwick Village, at the intersection of Portland Street and Agamenticus Road today, was once known as the Plain or Plains. Sarah Orne Jewett

| A SOCIETY by VIRGINIA WOOLF | 20 Apr 2025 | 00:40:15 | |
A group of women form a society to determine what it is that men bring to this life-so they start asking questions but find themselves getting limited answers. As a late "Gilded Age"piece of work it challenges the status quo in 1921 at the beginning of an era when women no longer were required to being 10 or 15 children into the world- that education was important- and that men really didn't seem to know it all. I think all who listen to this story will have a different take- and thats what makes it enjoyable. Adeline Virginia Woolf (/wʊlf/;[ née Stephen; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer and one of the most influential 20th century modernist authors. She helped to pioneer the use of stream of consciousness narration as a literary device. Woolf was born into an affluent household in South Kensington, London as the seventh child of Julia Prinsep Jackson and Leslie Stephen. She grew up in a blended family of eight that included her sister, modernist painter Vanessa Bell. From a young age, she was home-schooled in English classics and Victorian literature. Between 1897 to 1901, she attended the Ladies' Department of King's College London, where she studied classics and history. There, she encountered early reformers advocating for women's higher education and the women's rights movement. After her father's death in 1904, the Stephen family moved from Kensington to Bloomsbury, a more bohemian neighbourhood. There, alongside her brothers' intellectual friends, she helped form the artistic and literary Bloomsbury Group. In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1917, the couple founded the Hogarth Press, which went on to publish much of her work. They rented a home in Sussex and permanently settled there in 1940. Woolf began writing professionally in 1900. During the inter-war period, Woolf became an important part of London's literary and artistic society, and its anti-war position. In 1915, she published her first novel, The Voyage Out, through her half-brother's publishing house, Gerald Duckworth and Company. Her best-known works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928). She is also known for her essays, such as A Room of One's Own (1929). Woolf became one of the central subjects of the 1970s movement of feminist criticism. Her works, translated into more than 50 languages, have attracted attention and widespread commentary for inspiring feminism. A large body of writing is dedicated to her life and work. She has been the subject of plays, novels, and films. Woolf is commemorated by statues, societies dedicated to her work, and a building at the University of London. | |||

| AN INDISCREET LETTER by ELEANOR HALLOWELL ABBOTT | 09 Mar 2025 | 01:17:38 | |
This story gives you a seat on a Halifax to Boston train circa 1915 where you will catch a very interesting conversation between a salesman of women's wear, an electrician, and a young lady, who,tired of traveling for the past 3 days, and desirous of some conversation, asks if she can join in. The subject eventually turns to the fact she has written "an indiscreet letter", which , by the terms of the times, means any letter written to a one time acquaintance that bares the soul. In her case, its not a love letter but a heartfelt request to meet the man whose voice comforted her during the long, dark hours she and he waited for rescuers after their train wrecked. Its is a masterfully written short story that typifies the gilded age. | |||
| WHAT SHE WORE by EDNA FERBER | 02 Mar 2025 | 00:28:01 | |

They become working friends to the point where , when he screws up enough courage, he advises her against wearing a deep V dress, saying that his mother back home would never allow it. Edna Ferber's excellent characterization of both makes them come alive and the story becomes a "moment in time" look back to Chicago of 1912. For more stories check out www.bestof1001stories.com.
