Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South in Prose and Poetry For a long time the literature of the South was neglected, or, perhaps, it is nearer the truth to say that it was ignored. Thomas Nelson Page, in a speech some years ago, stated that the rest of the world looked upon the South as a section of the United States without a literature, and the Encyclopaedia Britannica, an authority throughout the world, published an arraignment far more scathing than this. We of the South have no one to blame for this condition of affairs but ourselves. It is only natural that, if we did not seem to place a proper value upon our own writers, no other section was going to herald their fame except where the overwhelming force of genius compelled it. We can but take the form of the mold in which we are cast. Our range of vision is limited by our horizon, and unless that horizon is lifted our field of vision will always remain the same. To those whose knowledge of American literature has been acquired merely from text-books written by men who have given scant space to the authors of the South, it is, in spite of its truth, an astonishing fact that Simms ranks only second to Hawthorne; that Poe surpasses all the other of our poets; that Calhoun was our most profound logician, and Maury the greatest American scientist of his day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Prose and Poetry for Schools If criticism is offered because of the omission of favorite authors, we can only suggest that this is no compendium of Southern literature. It was impossible to include everything, and those selections were made which, in the judgment of the editors, would hasten the establishment of a point of contact between the youth ful student and that great world of literature to which we hope to introduce him. The grouping of the stories and poems should be of assistance to the pupil. The usual chronological ar rangement has been abandoned; selections have been assembled with reference to a central idea, both for the sake of clearness of apprehension and for the purpose of sustaining interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poets of the South: A Series of Biographical and Critical Studies With Typical Poems, Annotated The poets of the South, who constitute a worthy galaxy of poetic talent and achievement, are not sufficiently known. Even in the South, which might naturally be expected to take pride in its gifted singers, most of them, it is to be feared, are but little read. This has been called an age of prose. Under the sway of what are regarded as "practical interests," there is a drifting away from poetic sentiment and poetic truth. This tendency is to be regretted, for material prosperity is never at its best without the grace and refinements of true culture. At the present time, as in former ages, the gifted poet is a seer, who reveals to us what is highest and best in life. There is at present a new interest in literature in the South. The people read more; and in recent years an encouraging number of Southern writers have achieved national distinction. With this literary renaissance, there has been a turning back to older authors. It is hoped that this little volume will supply a real need. It is intended to call fresh attention to the poetic achievement of the South.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of Places: America, Southern States Few are the years since there, at random placed, Some wretched huts her quiet port disgraced; Safe from all winds, and covered from the bay, There, at his ease, the thoughtless native lay. Now, rich and great, no more a slave to Sloth, She claims importance from her towering growth, High in renown, her streets and domes arranged, A group of cabins to a city changed. Though rich at home, to foreign lands they Stray, For foreign trappings trade their wealth away. Politest manners through their towns prevail, And pleasure revels, though her funds should fail; In each gay dome soft music charms its lord, Where female beauty strikes the trembling chord; On the fine air with nicest touches dwells.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masterpieces of the Southern Poets Although Lanier has been dead more than thirty years, and no copyright has ever existed in many of his poems, his poetical works were collated by his widow a few years ago, then published by Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons, from which house she receives a royalty. Therefore, while this volume contains all the greater poems of Poe, as there seems to be no one to claim any royalty on the publication of his works, in which no copyright now exists, Lanier is not so well represented. But I have been sorely tempted to publish in this work by far the greater part of gentle Sidney's superb creations.
