This is an essay about William Alexander Caruthers (1802-1846), an American novelist from Virginia. Excerpt from the essay: "Yet Caruthers is the first important novelist of Virginia (preceding John Esten Cooke by a generation), and all three of his romances established a literary tradition or a 'first' of one sort or another. Like all fiction, however, they are only indirectly revealing of their author's cultural outlook. In view of Caruthers's minor but significant place in the history of the American novel, it is felt that the discussion of manuscript sources which follows should serve to define that outlook somewhat more clearly.".
