Historical Fiction Wister, Owen: Lady Baltimore. v1. 3 Jan 2015

[crutledge]

Owen Wister (July 14, 1860 – July 21, 1938) was an American writer and "father" of western fiction. He is best remembered for writing The Virginian, although he never wrote about the West afterwards.

Lady Baltimore is the classic novel of post-Civil War Charleston life, in the process of healing the wounds of war through the reconciliation of Northerners and Southerners. Written at the turn of the century, it evokes the enduring charm of old Charleston in contrast to the values of "the breathless, competing North."
