Summary: Short and Sweet
Comment: Seelye's short work, travels through a considerable amount of major works and authors, including Poe, Stowe, Chopin, and George Washington Cable among others. He describes many of the antipathies with which these authors regard New England cicles of thought (including Poe's distaste for the Transcendentalism of Emerson and Thoreau), arguing a reactionary position for Southern authors. He concludes that Southern literature is not original but rather an extension of New England and other American literary models. The work is useful for quickly surveying some regional literature; however, invoking such literary milestones and treating them rather briefly, leaves a certain "something" wanting that a fuller arguement might provide.
