Death of Mary Wilkins Freeman

A poignant blog post over at The American Literary Blog on Mary Wilkins Freeman, who died on this day back in 1930. I've taught quite a bit of Freeman in my classes this semester and find her work richly rewarding. Her characters (like Louisa Ellis and Old Woman Magoun, just to name a couple) stick with a reader.

(Sorry for a pretty in-eloquent post that does little to convey my admiration for this writer! Blame "revision brain," as a I continue to slog through that article I mentioned yesterday.)
