Autorenporträt
Thomas Nelson Page (1853-1922) was an American writer and diplomat, renowned for his depiction of Southern life during the antebellum and post-Civil War periods. Born on April 23, 1853, in Hanover County, Virginia, Page's early experiences in the Confederate South during the Civil War heavily influenced his later writings. His works typically romanticized the 'Old South' and presented an idyllic vision of life before industrialization, underscored by a nostalgic sentiment for its perceived chivalry and gentility. Page's narrative style was characterized by his use of Southern dialects and vivid depictions of regional settings, which contributed to the genre of plantation tradition literature. Among his most noteworthy works was 'The Spectre In The Cart,' a short story that exemplifies Page's literary talents and thematic preoccupations. In addition to his literary pursuits, Page also served as the U.S. ambassador to Italy from 1913 to 1919 under President Woodrow Wilson. Although his works were popular in his time, modern criticism tends to regard Page's idealization of the antebellum South with skepticism, recognizing both its influence on Southern cultural memory and its contribution to nostalgic myths of the Confederate era. Nevertheless, his literary contributions remain a significant part of the American literary tradition of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
