Abstract
Pattie Swartz discusses the Zoar community of Eastern Ohio as seen through Constance Fenimore Woolson’s literary works. Swartz contrasts Woolson’s idealized portrayal of Zoar in her early work “The Happy Valley” with her later, more critical examinations in stories like “Solomon” and “Wilhelmina”. Conference paper; originally published in Western Reserve Studies Symposium (15th: 2000: Cleveland, Ohio)
