Book Description
This work explores the continuation of the Classical literary tradition in Southern literature from the Colonial era to the present. It contrasts American writing outside the South which attacked or consciously undermined the Classics with a Southern literature that staunchly adhered to the eternal verities of the Classical tradition.
The work treats both major and minor Southern writers throughout her four centuries. This continued influence is responsible for the global interest in Southern literature.
