Cable's Treatment of the Creoles

Mildred A Pallez, Fordham University

Abstract

For over fifty years George Washington Cable has held, by virtue of the lavish and unqualified praise of critics, an honorable and significant position as an accurate master of local color in his fictional contributions to American letters. Born in 1844, in New Orleans, the most romantic spot in the South, and raised in the city surveyed and settled by the fathers of the Creoles, Cable drew material for a dozen novels and some twenty short stories at its source.
