Description
Critical and historical reading of Sarah Orne Jewett's 1898 short story, "The Gray Mills of Farley," about textile mill workers, an agent, and mill directors around the time of a New England mill's cut-back and shut-down. Place and character descriptions in this story, according to the author, give us entry into the social make-up, living conditions, and manufactory settings found at the Salmon Falls Mills at the turn of the century in Rollinsford, New Hampshire - near to Jewett's own hometown in South Berwick, Maine. Author's comparisons between Salmon Falls Mills and the Amoskeag Mills of Manchester, New Hampshire. Reference to Tamara Hareven and Ralph Langenbach's book, "Amoskeag."
