The idea of the "South" has its roots in Romanticism and American culture of the nineteenth century. This study by Michael O'Brien analyzes how the idea of a unique Southern consciousness endured into the twentieth century and how it affected the lives of prominent white Southern intellectuals. Individual chapters treat Howard Odum, John Donald Wade, John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, Frank Owsley, and Donald Davidson. The chapters trace each man's growing need for the idea of the South—how each defined it and how far each was able to sustain the idea as an element of social analysis. The Idea of the American South moves the debate over Southern identity from speculative essays about the "central theme" of Southern history and, by implication, past the restricted perception that race relations are a sufficient key to understanding the history of Southern identity.Johns Hopkins University studies in historical and political science ;97th series, no. 1.Literaturgnd(DE-588)4035964-5Kulturgnd(DE-588)4125698-0Historia Da AmericalarpcalLiteraturefast(OCoLC)fst00999953Intellectual lifefast(OCoLC)fst00975769Civilizationfast(OCoLC)fst00862898Authors, AmericanHomes and hauntsfast(OCoLC)fst00821779American literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00807113Authors, AmericanHomes and hauntsSouthern StatesAmerican literatureSouthern StatesHistory and criticismUnited StatesCivilization1918-1945USASüdstaatengndSouthern StatesfastSouthern StatesIn literatureSouthern StatesCivilizationSouthern StatesIntellectual life1865-Criticism, interpretation, etc.Literatur.Kultur.Historia Da America.Literature.Intellectual life.Civilization.Authors, AmericanHomes and haunts.American literature.Authors, AmericanHomes and hauntsAmerican literatureHistory and criticism.975/.04O'Brien Michael1948-2015,1139454MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910524846903321The Idea of the American South, 1920-19412676761UNINA
