Southern Lights and Shadows
Southern Lights and Shadows is a collection of American short stories written by carious authors and edited by William Dean Howells And Henry Mills Alden.
The most noticeable characteristic of the extraordinary literary development of the South since the Civil War is that it is almost entirely in the direction of realism. A people who, up to that time, had been so romantic that they wished to naturalize among themselves the ideals and usages of the Walter Scott ages of chivalry, suddenly dropped all that, and in their search for literary material could apparently find nothing so good as the facts of their native life.
