Krátky popis
A Girl of the Limberlost is considered a classic of Indiana
literature. The story takes place in Indiana, in and around the
Limberlost Swamp - at that time, a site of heavy logging and
natural oil extraction.This Bildungsroman is structured as
girl-meets-boy, girl-loses-boy,
girl-undertakes-an-adventure-to-win-boy-back.The novel's heroine,
Elnora Comstock, is an impoverished young woman who lives with her
widowed mother, Katharine Comstock, on the edge of the Limberlost.
Elnora faces cold neglect by her mother, a woman who feels ruined
by the death of her husband, Robert Comstock, who drowned in
quicksand in the swamp. Katharine blames Elnora for his death,
because her husband died while she gave birth to their daughter and
could not come to his rescue.The Comstocks make money by selling
eggs and other farm products, but Mrs. Comstock refuses to cut down
a single tree in the forest, or to delve for oil, as the neighbors
around them are doing, even though the added income would make
their lives easier.
