McDermott is a collection of sketches written in the late 19th century. The work captures the essence of various influential figures in American literature and features thoughtful explorations of their contributions and character. Although the author initially focuses on notable literary figures, it seems to set the stage for a wider discussion about the intersections of literature, art, and culture, particularly in relation to the Catholic Church. At the start of the collection, the author dedicates his series of sketches to a dear friend and acknowledges the influence of several prominent writers. The opening section discusses Richard Malcolm Johnston, emphasizing his contributions to dialect fiction and a portrayal of Georgia life before the Civil War. McDermott highlights Johnston's authenticity and ability to represent the local flavor through dialect, arguing for the literary significance that was often overlooked by critics of the time. This introductory exploration serves to establish the cultural and artistic milieu that will be examined throughout the book. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
