Alice French (1844–1934), better known by her pen name Octave Thanet, was a distinguished American author celebrated for her realistic portrayals of life in the American Midwest. Born in Andover, Massachusetts, she later moved to Davenport, Iowa, which had a significant influence on her writing. Thanet often chose to set her stories in small Western towns, offering a vivid lens through which readers could view the peculiarities and moral dilemmas of the time. Her collection, 'Stories of a Western Town' (1893), is a classic example of her narrative style, depicting the nuances of social dynamics and personal choice within the context of a changing America. Thanet was known for her local color style, and her works frequently featured themes of compassion, social reform, and a strong sense of community. Her detailed characterizations and insightful descriptions were grounded in her progressive views on race, gender, and labor, which were somewhat ahead of her time. A prolific writer, Thanet's literary contributions were well-received by contemporary audiences, and she remains a noteworthy figure in the late 19th-century American literary canon. Her works not only entertain but also provoke thought regarding the social issues of her era, and for that, she is remembered as a keen observer and chronicler of American society.
