The Literature of the American South
Bitter memories of the Civil War and slavery, fostered by the storytelling tradition, have enriched the writing of the Southern States of America.
The novelist Paul Bailey reflects on the achievement of some of its great writers -
Faulkner, O'Connor and Welty - in the light of the now disappearing traditions which sustained them. Contributors include ROBERT PENN
WARREN, CLEANTH BROOKS , RALPH ELLISON , WILLIAM STYRON and ELIZABETH HARDWICK.
