Creoles and Cajuns . Edited by Arlin Turner. (Gloucester: Peter Smith, 1965). [From The Grandissimes, in which it forms chapters twenty-eight and twenty-nine. With the title "Bibi" it had been rejected by Richard Watson Gilder, associate editor of Scribner's Monthly, first in 1873 and again two years later, after it had been revised. Other editors rejected the story also, perhaps for the reason stated by George Parsons Lathrop of the Atlantic Monthly: "on account of the unmitigatedly distressful effect of the story." Cable said afterward that he heard the story of Bras-Coupe from one of the "old French-speaking Negroes" be talked with often. Lafcadio Hearn and the Creole musician Louis Gottschalk, both of whom published versions of their own, leave no doubt that the story existed in several variants and that in outline at least it was a true story.] Of the voyage little is recorded-here below; the less the better. Part of the living merchandise failed to keep; the weather was rough, the cargo large, the vessel small. However, the captain discovered there was room over the side, and there-all flesh is grass-from time to time during the voyage he jettisoned the unmerchantable. Down in the rich parish of St. Bernard (whose boundary line now touches that of the distended city) lay the plantation, known before Bras-Coupe passed away, as La Renaissance. Here it was that be entered at once upon a chapter of agreeable surprises. He was humanely met, presented with a clean garment, lifted into a cart drawn by oxen, taken to a whitewashed cabin of logs, finer than his palace at home, and made to comprehend that it was a free gift. He was also given some clean food, whereupon he fell sick. At home it would have been the part of piety for the magnate next the throne to launch him heavenward at once; but now, healing doses were administered, and to his amazement he recovered. It reminded him that he was no longer king.

Arlin Turner, 1955. Achievement " ... when it comes down to moral honesty, limpid honesty, and utterly blameless piety, the Apostles were mere policemen (compared) to Cable." - Mark Twain In his writings, George W. Cable sketched life of his native Louisiana and New Orleans. In a time of Howellsian "smiling aspects" as representative of American society, Cable wrote of violence and death, of racial intermarriage, and of contradictions and complexities. Recognized today as one the South's most acute social critics, Cable attacked political corruption and advocated civil rights for the Blacks. He wrote of a vanishing Creole culture, of social classes, and of the baggage of the past and its consequences on the present. Top Selected Bibliography Bikle, Lucy Leffingwell Cable.

George Washington Cable (1844-1925) Contributing Editor: James Robert Payne Classroom Issues and Strategies Students need to have some knowledge of southern American history as distinct from the historical emphasis on the Northeast that generally prevails in American history and literature courses. They should have a sense of the historical pluralism of southern American society, understanding that it includes American Indians, blacks, Hispanic Americans, exploited poor whites, as well as the conservative white elite, which tends to be the object of most attention. Cable's perception of multicultural southern America is central to his fiction. Students need to be reminded that not all southerners supported slavery before the Civil War nor did all support segregation after the Civil War. For example, George Washington Cable, a middle-class white native of Louisiana, actively supported civil rights through his writings and through ordinary political work. To break up tendencies to stereotype the South, students may be reminded that many southern cities voted against secession from the Union before the Civil War, and the voting was by white males only. Cable's fiction is expressive of pluralism in southern life and values. With specific reference to "Jean-ah Poquelin": Discuss how Cable is interested in pairing and contrasting two types of male character, the "strong" Jean Marie Poquelin and his "gentle" half-brother, Jacques. Consider and discuss how in "Jean-ah Poquelin" Cable critically compares and dramatizes conflicts between colonial French-American and Anglo-American values. Note how scenes of mob violence in "Jean-ah Poquelin" prefigure violence in later periods in the South.

BIOGRAPHY George Washington Cable (1844-1925), born in New Orleans, was the fifth child of parents whose different backgrounds typified the diversity of that city's population. His father came from an old Virginia family and his mother was descended from Calvinists who had settled in New England two hundred years earlier. Cable's formal education ended at fifteen, when he was forced to help support his family as a clerk after his father's death. In 1863 he enlisted in the Confederate army and was wounded twice. After the war he returned to New Orleans, where he married in 1869. The following year he began writing as a columnist and reporter for the

Cable, George Washington, 1844-1925, Writer and critic. During the local color era Cable wrote of Creole New Orleans, and he has been called the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century, as well as the first modern southern writer. He is praised both for his courageous essays on civil rights, such as The Silent South (1885) and The Negro Question (1890), and for his early fiction about New Orleans, especially Old Creole Days The Grandissimes (1880), and Madame Delphine (1881). Cable was not a Creole himself, but he had deep roots in New Orleans. He was born and grew up there, and, after service as a Confederate soldier, he returned to live and work in the city until 1885, when he moved to Massachusetts. Cable's study of the colonial history of Louisiana while writing sketches for the Picayune revealed "the decline of an aristocracy under the pressure of circumstances," as well as the "length and blackness" of the shadow in the southern garden. In his essay "My Politics" Cable tells how his reading of the Code Noir caused him such "sheer indignation" that he wrote the brutal story of Bras-Coupe, incorporated later as the foundation of

He is remembered primarily for his early sketches and novels of creole life, which established his reputation as an important local-color writer. Cable served as a Confederate soldier in the Civil War and afterward was a writer and reporter for the New Orleans Picayune. His short stories of New Orleans culture began to appear in Scribner's Monthly in 1873; they were collected and published as Old Creole Days (1879). Among his novels are The Grandissimes Madame Delphine Dr. Sevier (1884), and Gideon's Band (1914). Cable's works depict the picturesque life of creoles in antebellum Louisiana with charm and freshness. Discernible in some of them is the author's moral opposition to slavery and class distinction. After 1884, Cable lived in Northampton, Mass. His later works, notably the essays collected in The Silent South (1885) and The Negro Question (1890), reveal his concern with social evils, particularly with the betrayal of the freed African-American.

Born in New Orleans in 1844, Cable was of New England Puritan background on his mother's side and of a Virginia slaveholding family of German descent on his father's side. Upon the death of his father, Cable had to leave school at age fourteen to take a job at the New Orleans customhouse. At nineteen, during the Civil War, Cable enlisted in the Fourth Mississippi Cavalry, little knowing that he was providing himself with an experience that would form the basis of one of his most popular novels. After the war Cable obtained a position as a surveyor of the Atchafalaya River levees, contracted malaria, and was incapacitated for two years. Taking advantage of the enforced "leisure," he began writing and started to contribute a column to the New Orleans Picayune.
