Thomas Nelson Page

    Cet auteur est réputé pour avoir popularisé le genre de la tradition des plantations dans la littérature du Sud, qui dépeint une vision idéalisée de la vie avant la guerre civile. Ses œuvres dépeignent souvent des scènes idylliques avec des personnes asservies apparemment satisfaites travaillant pour des maîtres aimés et leurs familles. À travers ses recueils de nouvelles, il capture magistralement l'ambiance et le style de l'époque, se concentrant sur la réminiscence nostalgique et les images idéalisées du passé. Son écriture offre ainsi un aperçu unique d'une tradition littéraire spécifique qui cherchait à préserver le souvenir du Sud d'avant-guerre.
