Grace King (1851-1932) wrote with keen perception and realism of the life and culture of New Orleans between 1865 and 1920. She contributed a substantial amount of writing to American letters - her work totaling some thirteen volumes. Although not as celebrated as her famous contemporaries Mark Twain, George W. Cable, and Joel Chandler Harris, she was highly praised by such eminent critics as William Deal Howells.
   In pursuing an intellectual career, she broke with the Old South tradition and is representative of the combination of Anglo-Saxon and Creole French cultures. Her work is especially interesting for the way in which her view of the southern temper and cultural contribution supplemented that of other writers of the period.

Tales of a Time and Place

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
