Elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives, Simms served from 1844–1846. The University of South Carolina has digitized most of his works and papers, which have been digitized by the available as print on demand books.[24] During recent years, a "Simms Renascence" has included scholars such as James E. Kibler may be currently the leading authority on Simms's poetry; Guilds produced the major biography of the prolific author; Busick has concentrated on Simms's work as a historian; Wimsatt has published "The Major Fiction of William Gilmore Simms" as well as an edited version of his short stories, titled "Tales of the South" (a writer for "The Virginia Quarterly Review" calls Wimsatt's introduction to the tales "magisterial").	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5086.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5086.txt
