Rachels Children, originally published in 1938 by Harper & Brothers, is a powerful story about a woman of immense psychological and spiritual presence attempting to work her way amidst structures of power, property, authority, and genealogy in a world of laws and of other regulations created, interpreted, and administered by men. It is about the particular problems of widowhood, of single parenthood, of solitary ownership and distribution of property, of testamentary intention, of standards of mental competence, of statutory definition and standing in courts of law. It is also, simply enough, a story about a womans loneliness, aging and impending death, and a mothers love, which is at once creative and destructive.Philip Beidlers introduction places this novel within the scheme of the literature of the 1930s and traces the literary trends that influenced Hassells writing. He points to Hassells definitive treatment of matters of agriculture, commerce, law, class and race relations, local manners, and folkways in the regional setting of Northport, Tuscaloosa and Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, in the early part of this century.
