Fallen Lady is a great story of the old South, wonder if it could be published today?
Some of Nash's work reflects a mindset that would be termed bigoted and racist today. I don't think he'd be recieved kindly in this day and time. Eightbore is clearly fond of his work though, and so am I..Geo
Sure he would George... just not by everyone and we Americans should not be ashamed of this great old literature or those who could emulate it again in modern times.
JMC, hope I did not give the impression that I'm ashamed of Southern literature or of my own personal Southern heritage, because I am certainly not. I love the works of Buckingham, though I do suspect his works, if published today, would create an uproar.
As for Babcock, I don't remember anything in it that I think would be particularly objectional even today. Faulkner was no apoligist for the Southern heritage, but he clearly renunciated it. He wrote of what was as what was. He also wrote some of the best Southern hunting literature in existance...Geo
