Summary "Literary Hearthstones of Dixie" by La Salle Corbell Pickett is a collection of essays and reflections on notable Southern writers and poets, written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the lives and works of various literary figures from the South, paying homage to their contributions and the cultural context that shaped their artistry. The opening of the work sets the tone by establishing a nostalgic connection to the homes and environments that influenced these writers, particularly Edgar Allan Poe. It illustrates how the memories of Poe’s upbringing in Richmond, Virginia, his familial connections, and his tumultuous life interwoven with literary inspirations reflect the deep emotional roots of Southern literary culture. By painting a vivid picture of both the physical settings and the internal struggles of these authors, the text invites readers to appreciate the historical and emotional landscapes that gave rise to their celebrated works.
