1) Aftermath
Kentucky author James Lane Allen achieved literary prominence as a skillful chronicler of his home state's heritage, traditions, and natural beauty. All three of these elements are brought to bear in the lyrical novel The Reign of Law, which unfolds against the backdrop of the region's long-vital hemp farming industry.
After an initial burst of literary popularity, Kentucky-born author James Lane Allen took an extended break from publishing. After the span of several years, he returned with the short novel Bride of the Mistletoe, which both reflected and diverged from his earlier work. Though also a romance of sorts, the tale is shot through with myth and steeped in symbolism, adding weight and gravity to what otherwise might be a light diversion.
Kentucky author James Lane Allen was one of the American South's foremost practitioners of the "local color" genre of realism. This collection brings together two of his novellas, both of which deal with the vagaries of love and the tendency of the human heart to yearn for that which is unattainable.
