  Thomas Nelson Page - LoveToKnow 1911
THOMAS NELSON PAGE (18J3 -), American author, was born at Oakland Plantation, Hanover (disambiguation)Hanover county, Virginia, on the 23rd of April 1853, the great-grandson of Thomas Nelson (1738-1789) and of John Page (1744-1808), both governors of Virginia, the former being a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
After a course at Washington and Lee University (1869-1872) he graduated in law at the university of Virginia (1874), and practised, chiefly in Richmond, until 1893, when he removed to Washington, D. C., and devoted himself to writing and lecturing.
He is at his best in those short stories in which, through negro character and dialect, he pictures the life of the Virginia gentry, especially as it centred about the mutual devotion of master and servant.

 Thomas Nelson Page, 1853-1922
Thomas Nelson Page, author of short stories, novels, essays, and poetry, is best known for his role as literary spokesman for the glories of the Old South.
Page was consistently a proponent of the southern way of life, and in such stories as "Marse Chan" in In Ole Virginia his finest sketches were realized.
Page's South, of course, was finer than any real place could ever be, but he satisfied the nostalgia of his readers for what might have been—a place where heroic men and women adhered to a code of perfect honor.

 Thomas Nelson Page Biography and Summary
Thomas Nelson Page's importance to southern literature results from his nostalgic short stories that articulate and popularize the myth of the South's Edenic origins, its prelapsarian heroes and heroines, and its fall.
King argues that Page's development of the Southern plantation tradition presents a contradiction between intent and outcome; his panegyrics of the antebellum South inadvertently reveal the fatal weaknesses of the plantation system.
MacKethan relates how Page created his Arcadian vision of the antebellum South from his conflicted awareness that the Old South was forever destroyed yet still a symbol of strength and pride for the New South.
