Reseña del editor
Meredith Nicholson stands as the most Hoosier of all Indiana writers, serving as an outspoken advocate for his state. Indiana literary historian Arthur S. Shumaker called Nicholson the "most rabid" of Indiana's major authors. In addition to writing such national best-sellers as Zelda Dameron and The House of a Thousand Candles, his best-known work, Nicholson won praise as an insightful essayist, with his work published in such national magazines as the Saturday Evening Post and Atlantic Monthly. "His inherent belief in democracy and democratic values, and his unapologetic patriotism permeate his essays," notes Gray, "some of which excoriated the Ku Klux Klan and upheld the rights and virtues of women, attitudes not always popular at the time."

Hardcover. Condición: Good. From 1880-1920, Indiana experienced a golden age of literature, with Hoosier authors achieving both national prominence and national acclaim. These writers provided readers with stories that emphasized traditional values and offered shelter from the ever-changing world. Although those who lived in the state took an immense pride in what Indiana writers produced, they heaped special attention on 4 men, including the great Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley; Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Booth Tarkington; and noted newspaper columnist and humorist George Ade. The other member of this special group - Meredith Nicholson - also won enormous success with his novels. Nicholson stands as the most \"Hoosier\" of all the Indiana writers, serving as an outspoken advocate for the state. In addition to writing such national best sellers as Zelda Dameron and the House of a Thousand Candles, his best known novel, Nicholson won praise as an insightful essayist, with his work published in such national magazines as The Saturday Evening Post and Atlantic Monthly. A longtime supporter of the Democratic Party, Nicholson\'s loyalty to his party was rewarded in 1933 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him to be America\'s top diplomat in war-torn paraguay. Nicholson gave able service to the United States and went on to serve in two other Latin American countries before retiring from public life in 1941. Nº de ref. del artículo: AMPLE0871952572
