'The Man in Gray' is a romance novel written by Jr. Thomas Dixon. The story begins at a ball in a Southern home in the 1800s. The Lee family is preparing for the event, with the two sons Custis and Phil and their classmates, Jeb Stuart, being the guests of honor. The ball is a way for friends, neighbors, and family to come together for an evening of joy, and the preparations are carried out by Sam, a young servant acting as butler. The scene is set with fireflies blinking, stars twinkling, and laughter of youth and beauty filling the air. Phil is introduced to many young women, and they are all kissing and calling him cousin, as is customary in Southern culture. Despite being dazzled by the attention, Phil realizes the superficiality of the situation and that it is all just part of the social norms.

Thomas Dixon, Jr. is best remembered as the author of the racist novels that served as the basis for D. W. Griffith's controversial 1915 classic film The Birth of a Nation. He also enjoyed great renown during his lifetime as a minister, lecturer, lawyer, and actor. In Thomas Dixon Jr. and the Birth of Modern America, distinguished scholars of religion, film, literature, music history and gender studies offer a provocative examination of Dixon's ideas, personal life and career and, in the process, illuminate the evolution of white racist ideas in the early twentieth century, and their legacy.

This new edition of Southern Writers assumes its distinguished predecessor's place as the essential reference on literary artists of the American South. Broadly expanded and thoroughly revised, it boasts 604 entries-nearly double the earlier edition's-written by 264 scholars. For every figure major and minor, from the venerable and canonical to the fresh and innovative, a biographical sketch and chronological list of published works provide comprehensive, concise, up-to-date information. Here in one convenient source are the South's novelists and short story writers, poets and dramatists, memoirists and essayists, journalists, scholars, and biographers from the colonial period to the twenty-first century. What constitutes a "southern writer" is always a matter for debate. Editors Joseph M. Flora and Amber Vogel have used a generous definition that turns on having a significant connection to the region, in either a personal or literary sense. New to this volume are younger writers who have emerged in the quarter century since the dictionary's original publication, as well as older talents previously unknown or unacknowledged. For almost every writer found in the previous edition, a new biography has been commissioned. Drawn from the very best minds on southern literature and covering the full spectrum of its practitioners, Southern Writers is an indispensable reference book for anyone intrigued by the subject.

Thomas Dixon's "The Man in Gray" has Robert E. Lee as its leading character and tells a tale of thrilling intensity which makes it an historical novel of the very highest type. Dixon never has had a subject more preeminently suited to his talent. The flavor of real romance, of real bravery is caught. Dixon's novels have always had an eager audience, and the public is going to be won at once by the combination of the names of Dixon and Robert E. Lee, and a story of red-blooded romance. A first rate novel of the Civil War period is just about due, and "The Man in Gray" fits the demand to perfection.
