About the Author
One of the greatest and most celebrated Southern writers of his day, George Washington Cable (1844-1925) helped lead the local-color movement of the late 1800s with his pioneering use of dialect and his skill in the short-story form. After serving in the Confederate army, he began to write for the New Orleans Picayune. Cable has been called the most important Southern artist working in the late-nineteenth century, as well as the first modern Southern writer. A complete listing of his books published by Pelican is available by request. Kenneth Holditch is a Research Professor Emeritus at the University of New Orleans, where he has taught for thirty-two years. He is the founding editor of The Tennessee Williams Journal and has published numerous short stories, articles, and critical essays. He is a founder of the Tennessee Williams Festivals in New Orleans and in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and is also a founding member of the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society. He is currently at work on a biography of John Kennedy Toole.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Criticized in 1880 for its portrayal of forbidden love and the clash of cultures, this novel is now considered a masterful critique of racial and social inequality.
