Description and Table of Contents
Description
Among southern writers of her time she was one of the few who achieved excellence in both history and fiction; in her work the one strongly reinforces the other. This is how Robert Bush describes the work of Grace King in his introduction to this anthology, containing sections of her estimated thirteen volumes of writing. Grace King wrote between 1865 and 1920, giving her views on the southern temper and cultural contribution, views that supplemented those of other writers of the period. The anthology provides a full range of King's writings, including chapters from her biography, Memories of a Southern Woman of Letters, and her major short fiction, including five uncollected stories and the best of her Balcony Stories. The book features a large portion of The Pleasant Ways of St. Mi?1/2dard and selections from her historical writings, which include sections of New Orleans, the Place and the People. Bush also compiles a series of Kingi?1/2s biographical sketches of Mark Twain and others, excerpts from her notebooks, and the first publication of a group of more than twenty letters.
