About the Book

The "Old Counties" refer to the original counties in the United States before the Civil War. Ann S. Stephens, an American author and poet, proposed two key ideas related to these old counties. Stephens advocated for the preservation and celebration of local customs, dialects, and landscapes in literature. This concept emphasized capturing the unique essence of specific regions or counties in storytelling. Stephens believed in fostering a strong sense of regional identity and pride among Americans. These proposals aimed to promote a deeper appreciation for local diversity and heritage, advocating for a richer portrayal of American life in literature and a stronger connection to one's place of origin. Ann S. Stephens' book explores the essence of America's "Old Counties," proposing two visionary concepts. Firstly, she champions "Local Color Literature," urging authors to vividly depict regional customs, dialects, and landscapes in their stories. This approach aims to preserve and celebrate the unique cultural tapestry of each county. Secondly, Stephens advocates for cultivating "Regional Identity," encouraging Americans to embrace and honor their local histories and traditions. By doing so, she believes individuals can forge a deeper connection to their roots and contribute to a richer portrayal of American life. Stephens' work serves as a call to cherish and perpetuate the diverse heritage that defines the nation's counties.
