CRAMER, MAURICE BROWNING Phoenix at East Hadley
Houghton Mifflin Company, 1941. Ex-Library. Hard Cover. Good/Good. EX-LIBRARY HARDCOVER. Usual library markings, pages toned, dust jacket edge wear & tearing, shelf wear. "There is a New England that everyone has forgotten -- a land of mysteries and miracles. And yet this sense of marvelous runs through much of the greatest New England writing. Here is that New England again, in a novel rich, warm and profound. Here is the New England of Hawthrone, Melville, of Emily Dickinson. Mrs. Jeremiah Pickering is a farmer's wife who lives in a hill village in central Massachusetts. Her nature is rich and robust, poetical and mystical, proud, humorous, eccentric, egocentric, and difficult. It is a testimony to the fact that she is no ascetic that her dearest hope is that flesh as well as spirit is ressurected. Constantly her life, hard and humdrum as it is, brings her confirmation of her hope. And when, shaken by repeated blows, her faith falters, it is miraculously restored by the arrival of a crate of phoenixes, symbol of ressurection, shipped to her by a missionary friend in China.".
