Stuart Pratt Sherman (1881-1926) was an American literary critic, educator and journalist, known for having been an advocate of the &quot;Nativist&quot; movement in American literature, which defended traditional modes of American literature against Modernism.<br />From Sherman&rsquo;s fundamental literary collection <i>Critical Woodcuts</i>, published in New York in 1926, we have drawn the study <i>Pierre Loti and Exotic Love</i>, which today we propose to modern readers. It&rsquo;s a short essay dedicated to the famous French naval officer and writer, known for his exotic novels and short stories.
