Summary

This chapter analyzes several recently recovered newspaper and magazine narratives by Edith Maude Eaton. Extending far beyond the Chinatown plots of Mrs. Spring Fragrance for which she is best known, "Away Down in Jamaica," "The Alaska Widow," and "Wing Sing of Los Angeles on His Travels" exemplify the broad scope of Eaton's engagements with environmental health, cross-racial relationality, and transnational geographies, as well as how these themes intersect with her experiments with genre, narrative voice, and serial form.
