Autor: Joseph Crosby Lincoln

Joseph Crosby Lincoln (1870–1944) was an American author of novels, poems, and short stories, most of which were set in his native Cape Cod. Lincoln“s work encapsulated the early 20th-century landscape of New England coastlines and often portrayed the quaint, rural life of the region. Born in Brewster, Massachusetts, Lincoln grew to become a prolific writer, capturing the essence of Cape Cod through both his rich narratives and his evocative descriptions. „The Woman-Haters: A Yarn of Eastboro Twin-Lights“ (1911) is one of his numerous works that reflect his signature literary style, replete with humor, dialect, and a keen observation of the maritime community. This novel, as with much of his oeuvre, offers a glimpse into the gender dynamics and societal norms of his time, all wrapped in an engaging narrative. Lincoln“s writing is characterized by a gentle satire and fondness for the seafaring way of life, which endeared him to readers who sought escape and a sense of nostalgia for a simpler, more conservative age. His literary contribution offered a romanticized version of New England life, with its strong sense of community and tradition. Lincoln“s works remain a testament to the cultural heritage of the Northeastern United States and continue to be appreciated for their historical significance and charming storytelling.
