Biographia

Maria Alienora Wilkins nata est in vico Randolph Massachusettae. Collegium Montis Holyoke (tum Seminarium Muliebre Montis Holyoke) in Hadley Meridiano Massachusettae, unum annum, a 1870 ad 1871 frequentavit. Quia parentes fuerunt Congregationalistae orthodoxi, ei fuit pueritia severa, quam ob causam vis religionis partes primas in nonnullis eius operibus agit. Deinde educationem confecit in Seminario Brattleburgi Occidentalis. Plurimam suae vitae partem in Massachusetta et Monte Viridi degit.

Freeman fabulas et poemata puerilia scribere coepit iam adulescens, ut familiam adiuvaret, et cito felix fuit. Cum amanuensis Oliver Wendell Holmes medici et auctoris facta esset, poemata et mythistorias Novam Angliam maxime commonefacientis scribere coepit. Cum supernaturalia eam tenerent, corpus fabularum brevium confecit quae realismum domesticum cum supernaturalismo miscent, quae auctoritate gravissima fuerunt.

Eius opera notissima inter 1880 et 1900 confecta sunt, cum in Randolph habitaret. Plus quam viginti quinque volumina fabularum brevium et mythistoriarum prolatarum produxit. Praecipue innotuit duobus corporibus fabularum, A Humble Romance and Other Stories (1887) et A New England Nun and Other Stories (1891). Fabulae eius plerumque vitam quotidianam in Nova Anglia tractant, et inter optimas eorum generis sunt. Mythistoria Pembroke (1894) etiam innotuit, capitulumque notabile libro The Whole Family, mythistoriae collaborativae, contribuit (1908). Anno 1902, Carolo M. Freeman, medico Metuchen Novae Caesareae nupsit.

Freeman Aprili mense 1926 facta est prima persona cui nomisma sollemne pro Gulielmo Dean Howells nominatum pro amplitudine in fictione ab Academia Artium et Litterarum Americana concessum est. Mortua est in urbe Metuchen, et corpus in Coemeterio Hillside in oppido Scotch Plains Novae Caesareae sepulta est.
