History

IN THE LAND OF DREAMY DREAMS, Ellen Gilchrist's first book, is a collection of 14 short stories. She wrote them after being selected for a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Clearly she put her time to good use. "It's difficult to review a first book as good as this one without resorting to every known superlative cliche...Gilchrist is the real thing." (Washington Post) "Her stories are perceptive, her manner stylish and idiomatic--a rare and potent combination." (London Times Literary Supplement)

From the pages of forgotten journals and literary magazines Michael O'Brien assembles fourteen pieces that effectively challenge the long-prevailing notion that the mind of the Old South was superficial, unintellectual, and obsessed with race and slavery. In this book are discourses on subjects ranging from English empirical thought to neoclassical aesthetics, from the enfranchisement of women to transcendental theology, from the works of Hawthorne and Emerson to the social system of Virginia.
