Review A prodigious venture in scholarship, William Gilmore Simms and the American Frontier brings to bear the insight and zeal of a wellschooled host of champions in explication of an important and dreadfully neglected authors writings. (Louis D. Rubin Jr.) Product Description William Gilmore Simms (18071870), the antebellum Souths foremost author and cultural critic, was the first advocate of regionalism in the creation of national literature. Now being rediscovered by a new generation of scholars, Simms has come to be acknowledged as the ancestral father of modern southern literature. This collection of essays emphasizes his multifaceted portrayal of Americas westward migration and examines his depictions of the frontier from traditional and theoretical perspectives.As a whole, these essays represent a tribute to Simmss achievement and versatility. This volume will be a vital tool for all readers and scholars of nineteenthcentury American literature, and for anyone interested in the development of the American frontier and its depictions in literature.
