Green himself underestimated the importance of the supernatural in Sarah's work, stating that she "seldom introduced the supernatural into her stories, although she was greatly interested in it." He even makes the excuse for "The Foreigner" that it is "far more than just a ghost story." As Poe's work is more than horror?
The fact is that the supernatural is pervasive in the work of Sarah Orne Jewett, although generally kept slightly at a distance.
To reinforce their misstatements, her most wholeheartedly fantastic stories have had to be left out of print throughout our century.
