American author THOMAS NELSON PAGE (1853-1922), of the Nelson and
Page "First Families" of Virginia, popularized the "plantation
tradition" of Southern literature, idealizing the slavery-era South
in such short story collections as In Ole Virginia (1887) and The
Burial of the Guns (1894). But he also wrote nonfiction of the same
tenor, such as this 1892 collection of essays, which he hoped might
"serve to help awaken inquiry into the true history of the Southern
people and may aid in dispelling the misapprehension under which
the Old South has lain so long."This replica of that original
collection offers invaluable insight into a mindset that has not
fully been abandoned today, even more than a century later. Here,
Nelson Page offers his proudly antebellum attitudes on: "The Old
South" "Authorship in the South Before the War" "Glimpses of Life
in Colonial Virginia" "Social Life in Old Virginia Before the War"
"Two Old Colonial Places" "The Old Virginia Lawyer" "The Want of a
History of the Southern People" "The Negro Question"
