	William Gilmore Simms, 1806-1870
		Simms was born in Charleston, S.C., and lived much of his life in or near it, making frequent visits to northern publishing centers and to the Gulf Coast and the southern mountains.
		The embodiment of southern letters, Simms was also an influential spokesman for what he saw as the region's social and political concerns.
		Energetic and often humorous, his work is important for its sweeping picture of the colonial and antebellum South in its regional diversity and also for its representation of continuing southern literary and intellectual issues.

		William Gilmore Simms has been, to a pathetic degree, the victim of attachment to his native state.
		In this the whole South was negligent; Simms had to depend too largely upon the North for publishers and a public.
		Unfortunately, Northern readers, though hospitable to his tales from the first, were not as familiar with Southern manners and traditions as with those nearer home, and Simms had not the mastery of illusion which might have overcome this disadvantage.

	The Life of Francis Marion by William Gilmore Simms : Arthur's Classic Novels
		Names are particularly prone to error, not only by Simms, but from the whole revolutionary era in the South -- many of the people were only semi-literate, if literate at all, and many of the names have been spelled several, even a dozen ways -- sometimes even by the individual named.
		For all this, the errors of Simms are generally minor, and will not prevent the reader from a true appreciation of both Marion and Simms.
		As this poem is quoted in part by Simms at the very beginning of the book, I have considered it appropriate to include the whole here: Our band is few, but true and tried, Our leader frank and bold; The British soldier trembles When Marion's name is told.

	William Gilmore Simms Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		Although William Gilmore Simms is best known as a novelist, his total literary production is notable in all genres, if not always for its quality, certainly for its quantity.
		In part this is because Simms collected his essays only one time (1845) and that in midcareer.
		Even though he is not especially original in his criticism, a characteristic he shared with many better-known critics of his generation, he deserves a closer look for his prolific, consistent, and widely respected statements on literature as it reflects society.

		William Gilmore Simms’s (1806–1870) body of work, a sweeping fictional portrait of the colonial and antebellum South in all its regional diversity, with its literary and intellectual issues, is probably more comprehensive than any other nineteenth-century southern author.
		This Gothic tale is reminiscent of James Hogg’s Confessions of a Sinner and was written four years before Edgar Allan Poe’s “William Wilson.” Narrated in the first person, it is considered a pioneering examination of criminal psychology.
		The book was immediately successful and was well received by the northern media, thus starting Simms’s successful career as a writer, one that would rank him as the only major southern literary figure besides Poe before the Civil War.
