âDays of Yore; or, Shadows of the Pastâ by Elizabeth Anne Poyas, offers a glimpse into the world of the antebellum South through a series of evocative short stories and sketches. Originally published in 1870, this collection captures the nuances of Southern life, exploring themes of love, loss, and social change against the backdrop of a society on the brink of transformation.
Poyas’s writing reflects the literary styles of her time, blending sentimentalism with astute observations of character and setting. Her stories, rich with historical detail and local color, provide a valuable window into the past. This edition preserves the original text, allowing modern readers to experience the stories as they were first intended.
