A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The avowed purpose of an Introduction is to introduce, and as the Pike County characters are ah-eady bowing acquaintances if not old friends of most readers, it is not necessary to dwell on their associations or antecedents. There is an interesting allusion in a newspaper clipping which I recently came across in an old scrap-book: Col. Thomas W. Knox, now on his way around the world, was told this story by an English gentleman in Tokio, Japan: The latter had attended, not long before, a dinner party in London, at which George Eliot was present, among other noted litterateurs. The conversation naturally turned upon the shop, and, referring to American authors, she pronounced John Hay s Jim Bludso one of the finest gems in the English language. At the general request of the company she arose and recited the poem, the tears flowing from her eyes as she spoke the closing lines. My father himself had a weakness for Bludso and he wrote to Mr. Joseph Bishop in 1889: .. .I thoroughly appreciate a good word spoken for Jim, who is a friend of mine. I shudder and hide in the cellar only when the boy with the small knickerbockers is mentioned. Though it amused him to write them, my father could never understand the popularity of his frontier sketches.
