Carl Werner, An Imaginative Story; with Other Tales of ImaginationShort Stories | George Adlard | 1838 Carl Werner was published in December 1838 by George Adlard of New
York.[1] In the author’s advertisement, Simms classified
the collected stories as “moral imaginative” tales, a form of allegory
illuminating the “strifes between the rival moral principles of good and evil.”
Such stories, according to John C. Guilds,
may often exploit supernatural elements, although it is not necessary. Simms attributed the origin of the title
story to “an ancient monkish legend,” as he set “Carl Werner” in the deepest parts
of the German forest where the narrator and his friend ... |

Southern Passages and PicturesPoetry | George Adlard | 1839 Southern Passages and Pictures is a volume of poetry by William
Gilmore Simms, although his name is not mentioned directly on the title page.
The work announced its author simply as the writer of “Atalantis,” “The
Yemassee,” “Guy Rivers,” and “Carl Werner,” perhaps assuming that readers would
know Simms in association with his authorship of these well-read works. The volume was published in December of 1838
by George Adlard, who also published Carl
Werner on Simms’s behalf. Craighead
and Allen were the Printers. Although Southern
Passages and Pictures was published ... |

The Geography of South CarolinaHistory | Babcock & Co. | 1843
The
Geography of South Carolina, written as a companion piece for the 1842 edition of The History of South Carolina, was
published by Babcock & Co. in 1843.
Simms conceived of The History
and The Geography as parts of a
single project and initially desired the two books to be published together in
one volume.[1] Sean R. Busick notes that such a publication
was cost-prohibitive; thus, The History
and The Geography were published
separately.[2] In the preface to The Geography, Simms suggests another reason for their
separate publication: by breaking
up his subject ... |

The History of South Carolina, From Its First European Discovery to Its Erection into a RepublicHistory | S. Babcock & Co. | 1840 Believing it
“necessary to the public man, as to the pupil,” Simms undertook The History of South Carolina explicitly
for the education of the state’s young people, so as to tell them the vibrant
history of the state and the distinguished accomplishments of her leaders.[1] There
is evidence to suggest that Simms was particularly motivated to write such a
history in order to provide an historical account of South Carolina and notable
South Carolinians, to his eldest child Augusta, who was attending boarding
school in Massachusetts in the late 1830s.[2] Simms seemingly ... |

The Letters of William Gilmore Simms. Vol. 1Correspondence | U of South Carolina P | 1952 In his lifetime, William Gilmore Simms “was the author of thirty-four works of fiction,
nineteen volumes of poetry, three of drama, three anthologies, three volumes of
history, two of geography, six of biography, and twelve of reviews,
miscellanies and addresses, a total of eighty-two volumes.”[1] The estimate of the output was impressive, if not quite complete.[2] Regardless, Simms’s influence was unparalleled. No
mid-nineteenth-century writer and editor did more to frame white southern
self-identity and nationalism, shape southern historical consciousness, or
foster ... |
