Book Description
Excerpt from The Letters of William Gilmore Simms, Vol. 2 of 5: 1845-1849 Following the death of Dr. Alfred Taylor Odell the previous year, in 1949 we became co-editors of the letters of William Gilmore Simms. Dr. Odell, who with Mary C. Simms Oliphant, one of the present editors, originated the project in 1937, died while the first volume was in process of being made ready for publication. He thus did not live to see the fruition of his work on the project or to carry on the, editing of Simms' letters, of which all but about two hundred of some fifteen hundred included in this edition had been collected at the time of his death. We completed the first volume and saw it through the press, and have edited this volume and undertaken the editing of those to follow. The original plan for the publication of Simms' letters provided for the inclusion of all of his personal letters which could be located by the editors, and also of the various series of public letters written by him as correspondent or editor of newspapers such as the series addressed to the City Gazette (charleston) in 1831. This plan, which was carried out in Volume I, had to be modified. So many previously unlocated personal letters were discovered through a new and extensive survey made in 1950 of college, university, public, and private libraries that there is' not sufficient space for the inclusion of the public letters in the four remaining volumes planned by the University of South Carolina Press. With regret, we have been compelled to omit them, though we have indicated their existence in footnotes and drawn upon them freely for the valuable information they supply about Simms and his times. The letters appearing in this and the following volumes are, therefore, with several obvious exceptions, Simms' personal letters, of which only a few have ever before been published.

Hemispheric Regionalism
Author: Gretchen J. WoertendykePublisher: Oxford University Press

Pages : 225
Book Description
In this broad ranging study, Gretchen Woertendyke reconfigures US literary history as a product of hemispheric relations. Hemispheric Regionalism: Romance and the Geography of Genre, brings together a rich archive of popular culture, fugitive slave narratives, advertisements, political treatises, and literature to construct a new literary history from a hemispheric and regional perspective. At the center of this history is romance, a popular and versatile literary genre uniquely capable of translating the threat posed by the Haitian Revolution--or the expansionist possibilities of Cuban annexation--for a rapidly increasing readership. Through romance, she traces imaginary and real circuits of exchange and remaps romance's position in nineteenth century life and letters as irreducible to, nor fully mediated by, a concept of nation. The energies associated with Cuba and Haiti, manifest destiny and apocalypse, bring historical depth to an otherwise short national history. As a result, romance becomes remarkably influential in inculcating a sense of new world citizenry. The study shifts our critical focus from novel and nation, to romance and region, inevitable, she argues, when we attend to the tangled, messy relations across geographic and historical boundaries. Woertendyke reads the archives of Gabriel Prosser, Nat Turner, and Denmark Vesey along with less frequently treated writers such as John Howison, William Gilmore Simms, and J.H. Ingraham. The study provides a new context for understanding works by Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, and James Fenimore Cooper and brings together the theories of Charles Brockden Brown, the editorial work of Maturin M. Ballou, and the historical romances of Walter Scott. In Hemispheric Regionalism, Woertendyke demonstrates that US literature has always been the product of hemispheric and regional relations and that all forms of romance are central to this history.
