Setting forth formidable arguments for racial equality, Cables novel of feuding Creole families in early nineteenth-century New Orleans blends post-Civil War social dissent and Romanticism.About author(s):Born in New Orleans in 1844, George Washington Cable began his writing career as a columnist and reporter for local newspapers. A talent scout from Scribners Monthly discovered the writer, and the nations appetite for the exotic scenes and characters of the remnants of Creole civilization helped to make him popular. His first collection of Creole tales, Old Creole Days, was hailed as the equal of Hawthornes tales of New England; Cables first novel, The Grandissimes, was constantly in print during his lifetime. He died in 1925. Michael Kreyling is a professor of English at Vanderbilt University, where he teaches Southern literature and American literature. He has written two books: a study of the fiction of Eudora Welty, Eudora Weltys Achievement of Order, and a literary-cultural study of Southern fiction from the 1820s to the 1970s, Figures of the Hero in Southern Narrative.
