Our Review
The book contains selected writings of over 100 Southern writers of fiction, poetry, and non-fiction, many of them nearly forgotten. The book is a handy guide to Southern writing from earliest times up to its publication date. More importantly, the selections are not merely literary, but are chosen to be expressions of Southern life.
Availability of this Book
