This novel includes realistic portrayals of crime, violence, and immorality that the press had not responded to very positively in Simms' previous work, which could be the impetus behind Simms' decision to publish anonymously. \u003ci\u003eRichard Hurdis\u003c\/i\u003e received praise for its originality and excellence in its presentation of frontier violence and crime through using a group of outlaws based on the infamous gang led by John A. Murrell. Simms was ahead of his time, showing an anticipation of realism and naturalism that would be significant in later American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Gilmore Simms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611170591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611170597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.98d","brand":"William Gilmore Simms","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485660885247,"sku":"9781611170597","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e39d566a-db66-4c11-a5f9-f7ab0c724eb6.jpg?v=1778050715","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/richard-hurdis-william-gilmore-simms-9781611170597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
