His fiction has been thought to anticipate that of William Faulkner Cable was born in New Orleans, Louisiana . He served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War . At the end of the war in , he went into journalism , writing for the New Orleans Picayune , where he would remain through . By that time, he was a well established writer. His sympathy for civil rights and opposition towards the harsh racism of the era showed in his writings, earning him resentment by many white Southerners. In , Cable moved to Massachusetts . He became friends with Mark Twain , and the two writers did speaking tours together. Cable died in St. Petersburg, Florida Sketch of Cable in 1905 "The party had the privilege of idling through this ancient quarter of New Orleans with the South's finest literary genius, the author of "the Grandissimes." In him the South has found a masterly delineator of its interior life and its history. In truth, I find by experience, that the untrained eye and vacant mind can inspect it and learn of it and judge of it more clearly and profitably in his books than by personal contact with it. With Mr. Cable along to see for you, and describe and explain and illuminate, a jog through that old quarter is a vivid pleasure. And you have a vivid sense as of unseen or dimly seen thingsvivid, and yet fitful and darkling; you glimpse salient features, but lose the fine shades or catch them imperfectly through the vision of the imagination: a case, as it were, of ignorant near-sighted stranger traversing the rim of wide vague horizons of Alps with an inspired and enlightened long-sighted native." from Mark Twain's

   Extractions: GEORGE WASHINGTON CABLE (1844-) American author, was born in New Orleans Louisiana , on the 12th of October 1844. At the age of fourteen he entered a mercantile establishment as a clerk; joined the Confederate army (4th Mississippi Cavalry) at the age of nineteen; at the close of the war engaged in civil engineering, and in newspaper work in New Orleans ; and first became known in literature by sketches and stories of old French-American life in that city. These were first published in Scribner's Monthly, and were collected in book form in 1879, under the title of Old Creole Days. The characteristics of the series - of which the novelette Madame Delphine (1881) is virtually a part - are neatness of touch, sympathetic accuracy of description of people and places, and a constant combination oaf gentle pathos with quiet humour . These shorter tales were followed by the novels The Grandissimes Dr Sevier (1883) and Bonaventure (1888), of which the first dealt with Creole life in Louisiana a hundred years ago, while the second was related to the period of the Civil War of 186165. Dr Sevier

   Extractions: George Washington Cable Belles Demoiselles Plantation by George Washington Cable Arrived at court, his excuses were accepted, and that tract granted him where afterwards stood Belles Demoiselles Plantation. A man cannot remember every thing! In a fit of forgetfulness he married a French gentlewoman, rich and beautiful, and "brought her out." However, "All's well that ends well;" a famine had been in the colony, and the Choctaw Comtesse had starved, leaving nought but a half-caste orphan family lurking on the edge of the settlement, bearing our French gentlewoman's own new name, and being mentioned in Monsieur's will. The house stood unusually near the river, facing eastward, and standing four-square, with an immense veranda about its sides, and a flight of steps in front spreading broadly downward, as we open arms to a child. From the veranda nine miles of river were seen; and in their compass, near at hand, the shady garden full of rare and beautiful flowers; farther away broad fields of cane and rice, and the distant quarters of the slaves, and on the horizon everywhere a dark belt of cypress forest. I can hardly say.

   Extractions: George Washington Cable was born in New Orleans, in 1844. His formal education ended at fifteen, when he went had to help support his family as a clerk after his father's death. He served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and was wounded twice. After the war he returned to New Orleans, where he married in 1869. The following year he began writing as a columnist and reporter for the New Orleans Picayune In 1872 Cable was given access to the city archives so he he could research a series of articles for the newspaper about the city's charities and churches. In these archives he also found materials that he turned into short stories dramatizing the city's record of complex racial and cultural diversity since 1718. The publication of Old Creole Days (1879), a collection of seven stories, established the genre of southern local-color fiction. He followed Old Creole Days with a best-selling novel

   Extractions: George Washington Cable (1844-1925) was one of the best known writers of the postbellum period. Born in New Orleans, he quit school at the age of 14 to support his family after the death of his father. Following Confederate service in the Civil War, he became a reporter and columnist for the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He was dismissed from the paper in 1871, allegedly for declining to review a play. Cable's fiction focused on the sights, dialects and different peoples of Louisiana. His stories and books about New Orleans and the Louisiana plantation country were received in the North and Europe as important regional literature. Source: media.louisianatravel.com After the Civil War, noted author George Washington Cable moved to Northampton because his portrayal of racial issues in his novels made him unwelcome in his native New Orleans. On the other hand, Cable, and others like him, were alarmed by the welter of ethnic immigrants flocking to America in the late nineteenth century. With the backing of Andrew Carnegie, he founded the Home Culture Clubs (later the Peoples' Institute) to "Americanize" and uplift working girls unaccustomed to New England ways. Cable arranged for students at Smith College to hold classes for the city's wage earners.

10. George Washington Cable (1844-1925)
    Classroom study guide to the 19thcentury American writer.  
    http://college.hmco.com/english/heath/syllabuild/iguide/cable.html
    
    Extractions: James Robert Payne Students need to have some knowledge of southern American history as distinct from the historical emphasis on the Northeast that generally prevails in American history and literature courses. They should have a sense of the historical pluralism of southern American society, understanding that it includes American Indians, blacks, Hispanic Americans, exploited poor whites, as well as the conservative white elite, which tends to be the object of most attention. Cable's perception of multicultural southern America is central to his fiction. Students need to be reminded that not all southerners supported slavery before the Civil War nor did all support segregation after the Civil War. For example, George Washington Cable, a middle-class white native of Louisiana, actively supported civil rights through his writings and through ordinary political work. To break up tendencies to stereotype the South, students may be reminded that many southern cities voted against secession from the Union before the Civil War, and the voting was by white males only. Cable's fiction is expressive of pluralism in southern life and values. With specific reference to "Jean-ah Poquelin": Discuss how Cable is interested in pairing and contrasting two types of male character, the "strong" Jean Marie Poquelin and his "gentle" half-brother, Jacques. Consider and discuss how in "Jean-ah Poquelin" Cable critically compares and dramatizes conflicts between colonial French-American and Anglo-American values. Note how scenes of mob violence in "Jean-ah Poquelin" prefigure violence in later periods in the South.

Titles by George Washington Cable >> George Washington Cable, 1844-1925 George Washington Cable, 1844-1925 Cable, George Washington, 1844-1925, Writer and critic. During the local color era Cable wrote of Creole New Orleans, and he has been called the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century, as well as the first modern southern writer. He is praised both for his courageous essays on civil rights, such as The Silent South (1885) and The Negro Question (1890), and for his early fiction about New Orleans, especially Old Creole Days The Grandissimes (1880), and Madame Delphine (1881). Cable was not a Creole himself, but he had deep roots in New Orleans. He was born and grew up there, and, after service as a Confederate soldier, he returned to live and work in the city until 1885, when he moved to Massachusetts. Cable's study of the colonial history of Louisiana while writing sketches for the Picayune revealed "the decline of an aristocracy under the pressure of circumstances," as well as the "length and blackness" of the shadow in the southern garden. In his essay "My Politics" Cable tells how his reading of the Code Noir caused him such "sheer indignation" that he wrote the brutal story of Bras-Coupe, incorporated later as the foundation of

Achievement " ... when it comes down to moral honesty, limpid honesty, and utterly blameless piety, the Apostles were mere policemen (compared) to Cable." - Mark Twain In his writings, George W. Cable sketched life of his native Louisiana and New Orleans. In a time of Howellsian "smiling aspects" as representative of American society, Cable wrote of violence and death, of racial intermarriage, and of contradictions and complexities. Recognized today as one the South's most acute social critics, Cable attacked political corruption and advocated civil rights for the Blacks. He wrote of a vanishing Creole culture, of social classes, and of the baggage of the past and its consequences on the present. Selected Bibliography 1980-Present Benfey, Christopher.

Search Site: born Oct. 12, 1844, New Orleans, La., U.S. died Jan. 31, 1925, St. Petersburg, Fla. American author and reformer, noted for fiction dealing with life in New Orleans. Old Creole Days (1879), a collection of stories, and The Grandissimes Although Cable was the son of slaveholders and fought in the Confederate cavalry, he saw slavery and attempts to deny the freedmen full public rights as moral wrongs. Thus, in his early fiction, his handling of caste and class and authorized oppression contained overtones of moral condemnation. He used essays and public lectures to urge the cause of black rights, in the face of violent abuse in the Southern press, and he published two collections of his social essays, The Silent South (1885) and The Negro Question (1888). He abandoned the effort only after discrimination in the South had become entrenched. In 1885 he settled in Northampton, Mass. He wrote novels set mainly in the South until he was past 70, but, though better constructed, they were felt to lack the freshness and charm and also the force of moral conviction that characterized his early books.
