James
Lane Allen (December 21, 1849 – February 18, 1925) was an American
novelist and short story writer whose work, including the novel A
Kentucky Cardinal, often depicted the culture and dialects of his native
Kentucky. His work is characteristic of the late-19th century local
color era, when writers sought to capture the vernacular in their
fiction. Allen has been described as "Kentucky's first important
novelist."
