Publisher's Synopsis

""Memories Of A Southern Woman Of Letters"" is a memoir written by Grace King, a prominent American author from New Orleans, Louisiana. The book provides a personal account of King's life and experiences as a writer during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the book, King recounts her childhood in New Orleans, her education, and her early literary career. She also shares her perspectives on the cultural and social changes taking place in the South during her lifetime, including the impact of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Throughout the memoir, King reflects on her friendships with other notable writers and intellectuals of the time, such as Mark Twain and Lafcadio Hearn. She also discusses her travels to Europe and her experiences as a woman writer in a male-dominated field.
