From pre- and post-Civil War literature to modernist and civil rights fictions and writing by immigrants in the 'global' South of the late-twentieth and twenty-first centuries, these newly commissioned essays from leading scholars explore the region's established and emergent literary traditions. Touching on poetry and song, drama and screenwriting, key figures such as William Faulkner and Eudora Welty, and iconic texts such as Gone with the Wind, chapters investigate how issues of class, poverty, sexuality and regional identity have textured Southern writing across generations. The volume's rich contextual approach highlights patterns and connections between writers while offering insight into the development of Southern literary criticism, making this Companion a valuable guide for students and teachers of American literature, American studies and the history of storytelling in America. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAmerican literature$zSouthern States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAuthors, American$xHomes and haunts$zSouthern States 607 $aSouthern States$xIn literature 607 $aSouthern States$xIntellectual life 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAuthors, American$xHomes and haunts 676 $a810.9/975 702 $aMonteith$b Sharon 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210401103316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to the literature of the American South$92493735 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
