Orleans, See also:Louisiana, on the 12th of See also:October 1844. At the See also:age of fourteen he entered a See also:mercantile See also:establishment as a clerk; joined the Confederate See also:army (4th See also:Mississippi See also:Cavalry) at the age of nineteen; at the See also:close of the See also:war engaged in See also:civil See also:engineering, and in newspaper See also:work in New Orleans; and first became known in literature by sketches and stories of old See also:French-American See also:life in that See also:city. These were first published in Scribner's Monthly, and were collected in See also:book See also:form in 1879, under the See also:title of Old See also:Creole Days. The characteristics of the See also:series=of which the novelette Madame Delphine (1881) is virtually a part—are neatness of See also:touch, sympathetic accuracy of description of See also:people and places, and a See also:constant See also:combination of See also:gentle pathos with quiet See also:humour. These shorter tales were followed by the novels The Grandissimes (188o), Dr See also:Sevier (1883) and Bonaventure (1888), of which the first dealt with Creole life in Louisiana a See also:hundred years ago, while the second was related to the See also:period of the Civil War of 1861–65. Dr Sevier, on the whole, is to be accounted Cable's See also:master-piece, its See also:character of Narcisse combining nearly all the qualities which have given him his See also:place in American literature as an artist and a social chronicler. In this, as in nearly all of his stories, he makes much use of the soft French-See also:English See also:dialect of Louisiana. He does not confine himself to New Orleans, laying many of his scenes, as in the See also:short See also:story Belles Demoiselles See also:Plantation, in the marshy lowlands towards the mouth of the Mississippi. Cable was the See also:leader in the noteworthy See also:literary See also:movement which has influenced nearly all See also:southern writers since the war of 1861—a movement of which the See also:chief importance See also:lay in the determination to portray See also:local scenes, characters and See also:historical episodes with accuracy instead of merely imaginative romanticism, and to See also:interest readers by fidelity and sympathy in the portrayal of things well known to the authors. Other writings by Cable have dealt with various problems of See also:race and politics in the southern states during and after the " reconstruction period " following the Civil War; while in The Creoles of Louisiana (1884) he presented a See also:history of that folk from the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time of its See also:appearance as a social and military See also:factor. His dispassionate treatment of his theme in this See also:volume and its predecessors gave increasing offence to sensitive Creoles and their sympathizers, and in 1886 Cable removed to See also:Northampton, See also:Massachusetts. At one time he edited a See also:magazine in Northampton, and afterwards conducted the monthly Current Literature, published in New See also:York. His Collected See also:Works were published in a See also:uniform issue in 5 vols. (New York, 1898). Among his later volumes are The See also:Cavalier (1901), Bylow See also:- HILL
