Painter is a collection of biographical and critical studies written in the late 19th century. This work seeks to illuminate the achievements and contributions of Southern poets, highlighting their often-overlooked talent in the broader context of American literature. The book primarily focuses on notable figures such as Edgar Allan Poe, Paul Hamilton Hayne, Henry Timrod, Sidney Lanier, and Abram J. Ryan, providing insights into their lives, poetic styles, and the unique cultural circumstances of the South that shaped their work. The opening of "Poets of the South" presents an introduction that underscores the importance of Southern poetry, which is frequently undervalued in American literary discourse. Painter opens with a preface that discusses the historical context of Southern poetry, tracing its evolution from early colonial times through the Civil War. He emphasizes both the struggles and triumphs of Southern poets, noting the rich literary heritage that includes influential literary centers like Richmond and Charleston. The text provides an overview of early poetic figures such as George Sandys, touches on the prosperity and decline of literature in the South, and introduces the leading poets who will be examined in subsequent chapters, initiating an exploration of the distinctive voices and themes found in Southern poetry.
