Southern Literature From 1579-1895: A comprehensive review, with copious extracts and criticisms; for the use of schools and the general reader

Description

Manly curates Southern literature as a distinct intellectual and cultural tradition, arguing through careful selection and sharp critical commentary that the region produced substantive writers grappling with slavery, identity, and artistic ambition. Her sweeping chronology challenges the assumption that Southern literature begins with Faulkner, revealing decades of literary activity rendered invisible by literary history. This recovery work remains urgently necessary.
