His career suggests the significance Of the time, for in his personality are the storm, the lightning and the swift changes Of war. Born in the midst Of the great civil struggle, he reached his most impressionable period in the stern hours Of the Reconstruction, was a college student when the New South called for a new generation, and entered manhood during that wide readjustment, North and South, that has brought forth a nation. He was sensitive in the highest degree, endowed with rare genius for expression, passionately fond Of the tragic and heroic, and drew from his environment the essence Of the Old South both in its glory and its doom.

Book excerpt: Professor Holliday's book establishes beyond question his contention that the South has produced a literature so distinctive in its fundamental conception and growth as to deserve separate attention. This "History of Southern Literature" is the first effort to give the connected story of the development of the literature of the South from its earliest days to the present time - a worthy undertaking worthily performed. Beginning with "A True Relation of Virginia," written in 1607 by Captain John Smith, Professor Holliday reviews the work of nearly 150 distinctively Southern writers, including, of course, many of minor importance, but including in the list, also, such conspicuous names as Poe, Timrod, Harris, Hayne, Ryan, Lanier, Hopkinson Smith, Murfree, and Page, together with others that are well-known, though less prominent. Professor Holliday's appreciations of the work of the writers whom he discusses are generally just, and his book as a whole is a useful contribution to American literary history.--The Writer: A Monthly Magazine for Literary Workers, Volume 19

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Literature: From 1597-1895; A Comprehensive Review, With Copious Extracts and Criticisms for the Use of Schools and the General Reader, Containing an Appendix With a Full List of Southern Authors The primary object of this book is to furnish our children with material for becoming acquainted with the development of American life and history as found in Southern writers and their works. It may serve as a reader supplementary to American history and literature, or it may be made the ground-work for serious study of Southern life and letters; and between these extremes there are varying degrees of usefulness. To state its origin will best explain its existence. This may furthermore be of some help to teachers in using the book, though each teacher will use it as best suits his classes and methods. The study of History is rising every day in importance. Sir Walter Raleigh in his "Historie of the World" well said, "It hath triumphed over time, which besides it nothing but eternity hath triumphed over." It is the still living word of the vanished ages. The best way of teaching history has of late years received much attention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literature of the South To give an introduction to the study of Literature as it has developed in the South leading to the fur ther study of the works of southern authors, is the purpose of this book. Literature and history go hand in hand, for, when all is said, the literature of a people is the expression of their life. T o understand Literature, then, we must understand its source. I have endeavored to indicate the characteristic of the succeeding periods of literary development, and to trace the inﬂuence of historical events upon the life and consequent expression of the people of the South. It has, of course, been impossible to discuss all southern writers. Only the more representative are treated with any fulness, and many names have been necessarily omitted. Thus, also, the lists given of writers and their works are representative and not exhaustive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Literary Readings The critical apparatus at the back of the book Should be used judiciously, the teacher determining just what is best in individual cases. The use of this material should by no means be allowed to render the teaching of litera ture mechanical. That the literature itself is the main object should constantly be borne in mind. To read with clearness, accuracy, and expression the poems and stories and essays, and enjoy their intellectual, emotional, and esthetic qualities, is the highest desideratum. To over emphasize the letter is to deaden the spirit; but on the other hand, to neglect the letter is frequently to leave closed all avenues of approach to anything like an appreci ation of the production. The only effectual way of getting at the spirit of a literary production, particularly in the earlier stages of education, is through knowledge gained by attention to the letter. It is absolutely necessary, then, to study words, allusions, thought units and the general technical elements of literary construction. The child must be given as a basis of knowledge the details of literary values before he can properly perceive or estimate the spirit of literary art as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Life in Southern Literature: Selections of Representative Prose and Poetry In this book I have endeavored to represent as adequately as might be possible within the limits of a volume of moderate size the work of the more important Southern writers. My attempt has been not merely to show the value of literary effort in the South as absolute achievement but also to emphasize its importance as a record of Southern life and character. Taking literature in the stricter sense of fiction, essay, and poetry, I have omitted the historians, the biographers, and the political writers so frequently used to swell the bulk of Southern literature. In poetry I have endeavored to select poems which have attained some measure of general critical approval. But in some instances, especially in the Civil War poetry, I have included poems obviously without much literary merit because they were household poems of an older generation and embodied in a characteristic way the traditions and spirit of the people who loved them. For much the same reason I have included a few specimens of the vanishing survivals of old English ballads to the presence of which in the South attention has lately been turned. In the case of the older prose writers, I have drawn upon a very limited number of the most significant works. As most of these were out of print or difficult to secure, I have tried to give a general idea of each by means of liberal excerpts and suitable summaries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Literature A fuller treatment of Southern writers is to be found in this work than in other volumes of similar size on American litera ture. In the last decade or two the recognition of the literary contribution of the South has steadily grown, until the space allotted to the subject has assumed respectable proportions. In recent histories it covers many pages. Even yet, however, we have only imperfectly come to understand the far-reaching consequence in our literary development of the writings of men and women in the South since 1870; while the sterling worth of a few older authors is just now becoming more apparent as we are getting far enough away from the adverse conditions under which they wrote to see things in right perspective. In this account of American literature more space has been given to this group in the conviction that its variety and peou liar quality should have wider recognition.

Book excerpt: “Exquisitely imagined, deeply researched . . . brings to the foreground the most enigmatic and fascinating figure in Gone with the Wind. This is a brave work of literary empathy by a writer at the height of his powers, who demonstrates a magisterial understanding of the period, its clashing cultures, and its heartbreaking crises. ” —Geraldine Brooks, author of March The only authorized prequel to Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind—the unforgettable story of Mammy. On a Caribbean island consumed by the flames of revolution, an infant girl falls under the care of two French émigrés, Henri and Solange Fournier, who take the beautiful child they call Ruth to the bustling American city of Savannah. What follows is the sweeping tale of Ruth’s life as shaped first by her strong-willed mistress, and then by Solange’s daughter Ellen and Gerald O’Hara, the rough Irishman Ellen chooses to marry; the Butler family of Charleston and their unexpected connection to Mammy Ruth; and finally Scarlett O’Hara—the irrepressible Southern belle Mammy raises from birth. As we witness the lives of three generations of women, gifted storyteller Donald McCaig reveals a nuanced portrait of Mammy, at once a proud woman and a captive, a strict disciplinarian who has never experienced freedom herself. Through it all, Mammy endures, a rock in the river of time. Set against the backdrop of the South from the 1820s until the dawn of the Civil War, here is a remarkable story of fortitude, heartbreak, and indomitable will—and a tale that will forever illuminate your reading of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Literature Its Status and Outlook: An Address Delivered Before the Ladies Memorial Association of Montgomery County, Virginia, at the Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, July 10, 1880 When the invitation to address you on this occasion reached me, there were good reasons why, without any unwillingness to serve you, I might have declined. But when I remembered the cause in the interest of which the service was asked, I felt that it was one of which, as a southern man, I could not lightly disobey the summons. For I am one of those who believe that the South of the present owes a binding debt to the South of the past - a debt that can never be ignored as long as courage, love of country and sacrifice of self to duty may be reckoned among a peoples virtues. Belonging with all my heart to the new South, and holding by the doctrine that, so far as relates to the conduct of public affairs, our duty is one of forgetting the things that are behind and pressing forward over dead issues to new purposes of national life, yet I do not find it in my duty as an American citizen, still less in my grateful obligations as a southern man, to fail to bear my part in any just tribute to the memory and the motives of them that fell willing and illustrious martyrs on the altar of a cause which, right or wrong in the eyes of others, was to them the cause of country and of civil liberty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Southern Poetry Prior to 1860 The essays of Thomas Nelson Page in his volume on The Old South have been suggestive and helpful, especially the one on Authorship in the South before the War. Professor William P. Trent's William Gilmore Simms (american Men of Letters Series) is an admirable study, in many ways, of ante-bellum literary and political conditions in the South, though Professor Trent's point of view is often not that of the representative Southerner. Both of these works deal with the general literary conditions that prevailed, and ac count for the fact that the amount of pure literature produced in the South was not greater. The best collection of American poetry in existence is with out doubt the Harris Collection in the library of Brown University. Two catalogues of this. Have been published one prepared in 1874 by Mr. C. Fiske Harris, the original owner, and the other in 1886 by Mr. John C. Stockbridge. The latter is fuller in bibliographical details, but omits many titles, particularly of Southern poetry, included by Mr. Harris. Both of these we have freely used in the preparation of a bibliography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
