Name the author: Often considered a Naturalistic writer, this author’s conception of Realism—he called it “veritism” in Crumbling Idols (1894)—entailed an allegiance to the accurate representation of outer surfaces, however grim, and inner truths, however somber. The author connected the literary practice of Realism with a commitment to social justice. He believed in the responsibility of a writer to act as a responsible and compassionate member of a greater community. He often wrote about the mid-west and prairie with characters who lived on the land with all the struggles nature can bring along with the unfairness of economic society. His hard-working characters faced both but were usually beaten down by nature and unfair economic practices.

Name the author: One of the great American novels about the Civil War was written by this author who died at age 28 and who had never seen war.

Name the title for the quote: “Before the next morning he had spread the story of Adoniram Penn’s wife moving into the new barn all over the little village. Men assembled in the store and talked it over, women with shawls over their heads scuttled into each other’s houses before their work was done. Any deviation from the ordinary course of life in this quiet town was enough to stop all progress in it. Everybody paused to look at the staid, independent figure on the side track. There was a difference of opinion with regard to her. Some held her to be insane; some, of lawless and rebellious spirit.”
