William Gilmore Simms (1806-1870) was an accomplished poet, historian, dramatist, and critic and one of the nineteenth-century's most popular novelists. A monument stands today at Charleston's White Point Gardens as witness to this city's appreciation for the achievements of this native son. David Aiken teaches English at the College of Charleston and the Citadel. He is a founding member of the William Gilmore Simms Society and has written or edited more than fifty articles and books on Simms and other Southern writers.
