Description

A newly discovered manuscript believed to be the first known novella written by a woman in Florida In 2015, an unsigned and undated 98-page manuscript was donated to the University of Florida. This work, titled The Storm, is published here for the first time, transcribed and annotated by Keith Huneycutt. Huneycutt presents evidence attributing its authorship to Ellen Brown Anderson, a writer who came to Florida and lived with family members before the Civil War. This book makes widely available what may be the first novella written by a woman in the state. Likely written between 1854 and 1862, The Storm is set in Key West during the hurricane year of 1846. It is narrated by a young bride who tells the story of her first marriage, her struggle to make sense of a loveless and hopeless domestic situation, and the restrictions placed on women in her society. The story also presents a woman’s viewpoint on mid-nineteenth-century Key West, including the island’s shipwreck salvage industry and the town’s get-rich-quick economy, constituting one of the first fictional treatments of the Keys’ wrecking business. Huneycutt’s introduction compares the text with other examples of women’s literature and works by Florida authors from the period. The appendixes include essays on the writings of Anderson and her sister Corrina Brown Aldrich, who may have also played a role in the tale’s creation. Huneycutt argues that The Storm is groundbreaking in many ways and that it deserves serious consideration as part of antebellum American literature.
