William Gilmore Simms
William Gilmore Simms (Charleston, 17 april 1806 - aldaar, 11 juni 1870) was een Amerikaanse dichter, romanschrijver en historicus. Zijn romans waren in de 19e eeuw erg populair, en Edgar Allan Poe noemde hem de beste Amerikaanse romanschrijver ooit, maar tegenwoordig zijn zijn romans min of meer uit de gratie. Simms was een uitgesproken tegenstander van afschaffing van de slavernij en had felle kritiek op Harriet Beecher Stowes roman De negerhut van Oom Tom. Lees meer op Wikipedia
