''The Life of Nancy'' (1895) is a collection of eleven short stories by Sarah Orne Jewett. Following in the tradition of "local color" fiction, Jewett's stories are defined by their detailed descriptions of all aspects of everyday life in the country locales and fishing-towns in which the stories are set. Despite the lack of relation between the characters in each story, a common theme runs through the collection: nostalgia for the past and/or a need for revival of tradition. == Publishing History == * ''The Life of Nancy'' was first published in ''The Atlantic'' in February 1985.〔Jewett, Sarah Orne, 'The Life of Nancy' in ''The Atlantic'' 75: 175-187〕 It was later collected and published as a book, entitled ''The Life of Nancy'', by Houghton-Mifflin in 1895. * "The Life of Nancy" (short story within the collection) was published as an article in ''The Nation'' on February 27, 1896.〔Jewett, Sarah Orne, "The Life of Nancy" in ''The Nation'' 62: 181.〕 * "Fame’s Little Day" was published in ''Harper's Magazine'', March 1895.〔Jewett, Sarah Orne, "Fame's Little Day" in ''Harper's New Monthly Magazine'' 90: 560-565.〕 * "A War Debt" was published in ''Harper’s Magazine'' in January 1895.〔Jewett, Sarah Orne, "A War Debt" in ''Harper's New Monthly Magazine'' 90 227-237.〕 * "The Hilton’s Holiday" was published in ''The Century Magazine'' in September 1893〔Jewett, Sarah Orne, "The Hilton's Holiday" in ''The Century Magazine'' 24: 772-8.〕 * "The Guests of Mrs. Timms" was published in ''The Century Magazine'' in February 1894.〔Jewett, Sarah Orne, "The Guests of Mrs. Timms" in ''The Century Magazine'' 47: 575-581.〕 * "A Neighbor’s Landmark" was published in ''The Century Magazine'' in December 1894.〔Jewett, Sarah Orne, in ''The Century Magazine'' 49: 235-242.〕 * "All My Sad Captains" was published in ''The Century Magazine'' in September 1895.〔Jewett, Sarah Orne, "All My Sad Captains" in ''The Century Magazine'' 50: 736-748.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Life of Nancy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
