Thomas Nelson Page

    Tento autor je známý popularizací plantážního žánru jižanské literatury, který vykresluje idealizovanou verzi života před občanskou válkou. Jeho díla často zobrazují poklidné scény s údajně spokojenými otroky pracujícími pro milující mistry a jejich rodiny. Skrze své povídkové sbírky mistrně zachycuje náladu a styl doby, přičemž se soustředí na nostalgické vzpomínání a idealizované obrazy minulosti. Jeho psaní tak nabízí jedinečný pohled na specifickou literární tradici, která se snaží uchovat vzpomínku na předválečný Jih.
