About this audiobook
American short-story writer and novelist Constance Woolson, a grandniece of James Fenimore Cooper, was born in 1840 in New Hampshire, but moved with her family to Cleveland, Ohio. She became known first as a writer of the Midwest; but in the 1870s, when she wintered with her mother in Florida, she traveled around the South and used that region in her writing. She called the Civil War, then still fresh in memory, the “heart and spirit” of her life, and many of her stories concerned the cultural differences between the North and the South. She never married and in 1879, after the death of her mother, she moved to Europe, where she became close to Henry James; the two sometimes traveled together on the Continent. In 1894, she either fell or jumped to her death from her apartment on the Grand Canal.
Constance Fenimore Woolson
Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894) was educated at the Cleveland Female Seminary, and later became an American novelist, poet, and short story writer. She is best known for her fiction about the Great Lakes region, the American South, and American expatriates in Europe. In 1893, Woolson rented an elegant apartment in the Palazzo Orio Semitecolo Benzon on the Grand Canal of Venice. Suffering from influenza and depression, she either jumped or fell to her death from a fourth story window in the apartment in January 1894. She is buried in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome.
