The most noticeable characteristic of the extraordinary literary
development of the South since the Civil War is that it is almost entirely

romantic that they wished to naturalize among themselves the ideals and
usages of the Walter Scott ages of chivalry, suddenly dropped all that, and
in their search for literary material could apparently find nothing so good
as the facts of their native life.
