Biographie de l'auteur

George Washington Cable (October 12, 1844 – January 31, 1925) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. At the end of the war in 1865, he went into journalism, writing for the New Orleans Picayune, where he would remain through 1879. By that time, he was a well established writer. His sympathy for civil rights and opposition towards the harsh racism of the era showed in his writings, earning him resentment by many white Southerners. Modern literary historians have said that his treatment of racism in his fiction influenced the later work of William Faulkner and Robert Penn Warren. He has been called the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century, as well as the first modern southern writer.
