The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914: Bret Harte (1836-1902)
Index Bret Harte is remembered as the author of adventurous stories such as "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," set along the western mining frontier. As the first great success in the local colorist school, Harte for a brief time was perhaps the best-known writer in America such was the appeal of his romantic version of the gunslinging West. Outwardly realistic, he was one of the first to introduce low-life characters cunning gamblers, gaudy prostitutes, and uncouth robbers into serious literary works. He got away with this (as had Charles Dickens in England, who greatly admired Harte's work) by showing in the end that these seeming derelicts really had hearts of gold. Index

Bret Harte Activities

This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. At the height of his career, in the 1860s and 1870s, Bret Harte was one of the most famous and most highly paid American writers. His popular accounts of life in Gold Rush-era California, including short stories such as "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," seized the public imagination and made him an international celebrity. Harte's invention of prototypical "western" charactersthe shady prospector, the cynical gambler, the tough cowboy, the prostitute with a heart of goldcreated the mythology through which Americans learned to understand the culture of the "Old West." Combining realistic descriptions of the specific regional characteristics of California life with sentimental plots, Harte hit on a formula that delighted nineteenth-century readers and continues to influence American narratives of the West.

    Friends and Acquaintances Bret Harte
    Short-story writer and editor. Bret Harte rose to prominence as a San Francisco writer during the 1860s and 70s. After Sam Clemens came to California in 1865, Bret helped him get published in several publications. While writing The Innocents Abroad in San Francisco in 1868, Bret provided editorial assistance in exchange for being allowed to publish excerpts in the Overland Monthly, of which he was editor. In 1876, Bret came to the Clemenses house in Hartford, Connecticut, where he wrote one of his major stories, Thankful Blossom. Bret and Sam also collaborated on the play Ah Sin. While working on the play and in the immediate aftermath, Bret and Sam became embroiled in a bickering argument, which would lead to their falling out. For the remainder of his life, Sam would have an very negative opinion of Harte as a person, while always respecting his ability as a writer.
    William Dean Howells
    Very respected and influential editor, writer, and critic from the late 1860s on. W.D. Howells began his career in literature as an editor for the Nation magazine after the Civil War. By 1867, he became an assistant editor for the Atlantic Monthly , the most important literary magazines in the country. After a positive review for The Innocents Abroad in 1869, Sam Clemens went to thank Howells in person at his Boston office. The ensuing friendship between the two lasted for the rest of their lives.

    The Outcasts of Poker Flat
    by Bret Harte
    As Mr. John Oakhurst, gambler, stepped into the main street of Poker Flat on the morning of the 23d of November, 1850, he was conscious of a change in its moral atmosphere since the preceding night. Two or three men, conversing earnestly together, ceased as he approached, and exchanged significant glances. There was a Sabbath lull in the air, which, in a settlement unused to Sabbath influences, looked ominous. Mr. Oakhurst received his sentence with philosophic calmness, none the less coolly that he was aware of the hesitation of his judges. He was too much of a gambler not to accept fate. With him life was at best an uncertain game, and he recognized the usual percentage in favor of the dealer. As the shadows crept slowly up the mountain, a slight breeze rocked the tops of the pine trees and moaned through their long and gloomy aisles. The ruined cabin, patched and covered with pine boughs, was set apart for the ladies. As the lovers parted, they unaffectedly exchanged a kiss, so honest and sincere that it might have been heard above the swaying pines. The frail Duchess and the malevolent Mother Shipton were probably too stunned to remark upon this last evidence of simplicity, and so turned without a word to the hut. The fire was replenished, the men lay down before the door, and in a few minutes were asleep. sotto voce all
    The pines rocked, the storm eddied and whirled above the miserable group, and the flames of their altar leaped heavenward, as if in token of the vow.

But the beauty of that midsummer morning, the blessed amity of earth and air and sky, the awakened life of the free woods and hills, the joyous renewal and promise of Nature, and above all, the infinite serenity that thrilled through each, were not reported, as not being a part of the social lesson. And yet, when the weak and foolish deed was done, and a life, with its possibilities and responsibilities, had passed out of the misshapen thing that dangled between earth and sky, the birds sang, the flowers bloomed, the sun shone, as cheerily as before; and possibly the Red Dog Clarion was right.

    ARCADIA REVISITED by: Bret Harte (1836-1902)
      H, here's the spot the very tree
      Where once I carved an L. and E.,
      Symbolical of her and me
      Bound in Love's rosy fetters;
      Since then five weary years are spent,
      And yet I think we're both content
      That in Love's Book we never went
      Beyond our simple letters.
      For, looking through the rustling leaves,
      I see the humble cottage eaves
      Where now my Em. no longer weaves
      Her mystic maiden fancies,
