Place and Atmosphere
September 14, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the books "Boone Stop," by Homer Croy, "Land's End, and Other Stories," by Wilbur Daniel Steele, and "Lovers of Louisiana (Today)," by George W. Cable. "Boone Stop" is still another contribution to the current literature of American regionalism or localism, as Mr. Howells puts it. "Land's End" and "Lovers of Louisiana" are equally books of place and atmosphere, but of strongly romantic quality. Mr. Steele's stories are literary in the sense of being carefully composed. They show small trace in style or structure of those familiar tricks of the current art of the short story which have been almost codified by the successful story-tellers of the magazines.
