Woolson, Constance Fenimore

▪ American writer
born March 5, 1840, Claremont, N.H., U.S.
died Jan. 24, 1894, Venice, Italy

      American writer whose stories and novels are particularly notable for the sense of place they evoke.

      Woolson, a grandniece of James Fenimore Cooper (Cooper, James Fenimore), grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. During the Civil War she engaged in hospital work. After her father's death in 1869, Woolson accompanied her mother on travels through the East and South, and in 1870 she began submitting travel sketches and stories to Harper's, Putnam's, Lippincott's, Atlantic Monthly, and other magazines. Castle Nowhere: Lake-Country Sketches (1875) collected several of Woolson's local-colour stories. During the later 1870s she spent much of her time in Florida and the Carolinas, which became the scenes of her best stories.

      In 1879 Woolson traveled to Europe, where she remained for the rest of her life. Her novels, serialized in Harper's before publication in book form, include Anne (1882), For the Major (1883), East Angels (1886), Jupiter Lights (1889), and Horace Chase (1894). All are set in faithfully detailed locales, and they exhibit a psychological subtlety suggestive of the writing of Woolson's close friend Henry James (James, Henry). She also published a collection of short stories as Rodman the Keeper: Southern Sketches (1886). After a lengthy period of illness, Woolson died in 1894 following a fall (perhaps intentional) from a window in her apartment in Venice.

      The Front Yard, and Other Italian Stories (1895), Dorothy, and Other Italian Stories (1896), and a volume of travel sketches, Mentone, Cairo and Corfu (1896), appeared posthumously.
