Plantation tradition

Plantation tradition

Plantation tradition is a genre of literature based in the southern states of the USA that is heavily nostalgic for antebellum times. Although several works idealizing the plantation were written in the decades before the American Civil War, plantation tradition became more popular in the late nineteenth century through the works of Thomas Nelson Page (1853-1922) and Harry Stillwell Edwards (1855-1938). Other writers, especially African-American writers, soon satirized the genre.
