Introduction to Rebecca Harding Davis Rebecca Harding Davis is a pioneer of realist fiction in American literature and a journalist whose social commentary was nationally acclaimed. Her work was forgotten soon after her death, but the 1972 reprinting of her ground-breaking novella Life in the Iron Mills began a recovery of her as an important American writer. The story, which was first published in the April 1861 edition of the Atlantic Monthly , launched a fifty-year career which would produce a corpus of 500 published works. Born June 24, 1831 in Washington, Pennsylvania to Rachel Leet Wilson and Richard W. Harding, Davis spent her first five years in Florence, Alabama. Her mother was raised in the home of a prominent family in Washington, Pennsylvania; her father was an English immigrant. Her parents, younger brother Wilson and Rebecca moved north to settled in Wheeling, Virginia (not yet West) in 1837. Nurtured by her mother's erudition and facility with language as well as her father's storytelling, Rebecca had the kind of secure childhood likely to nourish a child's love for story and writing. Reading was her favorite past-time. She often climbed into the backyard tree-house with Bunyan, Maria Edgeworth or Sir Walter Scott in tow. Most influential was her reading of Nathaniel Hawthorne, to whom she attributes the commonplace subject matter of her own writing. Schooled at home until she was fourteen by her mother and various tutors, Davis entered Washington Female Seminary in 1845. After graduating in 1848 (as valedictorian and with honors), the young woman returned home to help her mother manage a bustling household of seven. During the twelve years between graduation and the publication of her first work of fiction, she began honing her writing skills by writing for the Wheeling

Rebecca Harding Davis (1831-1910) Contributing Editor: Judith Roman-Royer Classroom Issues and Strategies Problems in teaching Davis include: dialect, allusions, confusing dialogue, hard-to-identify speakers, vague frame story, religious solution, and the juxtaposition of sentimental language with religiosity and realism. To address these problems consider the following: 1. Explain the dialect (see the footnotes). 2. Try to ignore the allusions; most are not important to the heart of meaning. 3. The names of characters, their jobs, the speakers, and their roles need to be clarified. Kirby, son of Kirby the mill ownerHe is aware of the problems of the workers but sees them as insoluble; he takes the attitude of Pontius Pilate. Dr. May, a town physicianHe is idealistic, sympathetic to the workers, but naive about reality and thus unintentionally cruel to Hugh. "Captain"The reporter for the city paper. Mitchell, Kirby's intellectual brother-in-law, visitor to the SouthHe is cold, cynically socialistic. 4. Discuss the frame story. Careful readers will find inconsistencies in the frame narratives that explain the narrator's perspective. Early in the story, the narrator "happens" to be in the house, apparently a visitor, but at the end of the story, the house and statue of the korl woman seem to belong to her. The story of the Wolfe family is said to be set thirty years in the past, so how did the narrator come to know it in such intimate detail? One of my students suggested that the narrator may be Janey, who has somehow risen above her environment and become a writer, a solution that is provocative but unsubstantiated by the text.

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Rebecca Harding Davis When “Life in the Iron-Mills” appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in 1861 it was immediately recognized as a pioneering achievement, a story that captured a new subject for American literature—the grim lives of the industrial workers in the nation’s mills and factories. Herman Melville’s “The Tartarus of Maids” (1855) had previously but more briefly penetrated into the dark interiors of the industrial structures that were transfiguring the American landscape. Harding’s story was the first extended treatment, a harsh portrayal of back-breaking labor and emotional and spiritual starvation. In its depiction of the lives of the workers, from their diet of cold, rancid potatoes to the crimes they were driven to commit, it introduced new elements of both realism and naturalism into American fiction. “Life in the Iron-Mills” was the first published work of its thirty-year-old author, Rebecca Harding, resident of the industrial town of Wheeling, Virginia (now West Virginia). It brought her fame, the acquaintance of many eminent New England authors, a valued, lifelong friendship with Annie Fields, wife of James T. Fields, editor of the
