"Not as well-known as some of her contemporaries Mark Twain, George W. Cable, and Joel Chandler Harris, to name a few, author and historian Grace King (1851-1932) was nonetheless highly praised in her own right. She garnered attention from such eminent critics as William Dean Howells, and her work frequently appeared in Harper s and Century Magazine. She published thirteen volumes of fiction, history, biography, and memoir. What contributed to King s critical acclaim, and her continued importance across time, was the panoramic view of social and historical New Orleans that she captured in her writing. She was, scholar Robert Bush argues, one of the most talented and perceptive citizens of New Orleans during the post Civil War period. Grace King of New Orleans offers readers a nuanced understanding of King s impressions of the people and places of New Orleans as well as southern life and culture."--From publisher's description.
