Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from The Partisan: A Romance of the Revolution When, in 1835, I first inscribed this romance with your name, we neither of us could have imagined the long list of other volumes which have followed from the same pen. That I have continued a profession in which so few of our people of the South have found it prudent to engage, is in proof of a certain degree of success in my case. Of this it is scarcely proper that I should make any boast but it will not be denied that I should express myself quite satisfied with the encouragements which have attended my career. These have not been so great, in peou miary respects, as yours. You have grown to fortune. You are one of her favourites and it is some satisfaction, that, though her bounties have been withheld from me, they have been so lavishly bestowed on those who are worthy, and whom I rank among my friends - friends who have not changed from the beginning, and with whom I mostly bear the same grateful relations which cheered me in the opening of my career of life.

The writings of William Gilmore Simms (1806-1870) provide a sweeping fictional portrait of the colonial and antebellum South in all of its regional diversity. Simms''s account of the region is more comprehensive than that of any other author of his time; he treats the major intellectual and social issues of the South and depicts the bonds and tensions among all of its inhabitants. By the mid-1840s Simms''s novels were so well known that Edgar Allan Poe could call him "the best novelist which this country has, on the whole, produced." The thirteenth volume in the ongoing Arkansas Edition of the works of Simms, The Partisan is the first in order of publication of Simms''s Revolutionary War romances. Although Simms took advantage of the novelist''s prerogative to invent characters and events for his saga, he did so with a historian''s eye, making extensive use of official histories; letters, diaries, and other documents; family traditions; and unpublished and published memoirs. Simms gives human interest to the novel''s historical framework with two love triangles, mixing romantic conventions with gritty realism that outlines the four classes of Simms''s ideal society. The Partisan is also remarkable among Simms''s work for its use of symbols, indicating, perhaps, a new intention for the novel. The result is a satisfying work of literary art enlivened with adventure and humor while remaining true to the history behind it.
