I notice that an anonymous IP erased the image of Sarah Orne Jewett, claiming it is that of the writer Willa Cather instead. I didn't add this image, and I don't know what Sarah Orne Jewett looked like, so I don't know if this user is in error or not. It would, however, be nice to have an image of Jewett, of course. I will attempt to doublecheck this when I have time, but perhaps a Jewett expert out there knows the answer. MarmadukePercy ( talk) 17:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
I have lived in southern Maine and have traveled up the coast many times. I have also read Country of the Pointed Firs many times.
I hope this is helpful. Smaxam ( talk) 06:22, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
An image I have not seen before on this page shows the actress Sara Jewett, not the author, Sarah Orne Jewett.
Richard Cary in Sarah Orne Jewett Letters (1967) says:
"Sara Jewett (1847-1899) was the leading lady of Augustin Daly's Union Square Theatre Company. Miss Jewett of South Berwick recounts drolly that upon several occasions during her travels she was mistaken for Miss Jewett of New York, then considered one of the most beautiful women in America. In an ironic extension of the parallel, illness and enforced retirement became the lot of both thespian and literary Jewett. Sara Jewett's last appearance as an actress took place in the spring of 1883." (46)
If I were more skilled, I'd remove this photograph of the actress standing before a backdrop. As I am not, I'll leave that to another. (Terry Heller, Coe College, the Sarah Orne Jewett Text Project) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.32.67.166 ( talk) 15:51, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
