A Late Encounter with the Civil War
In A Late Encounter with the Civil War, Michael Kreyling confronts the changing nature of our relationship to the anniversary of the war that nearly split the United States. When significant anniversaries arrive in the histories of groups such as families, businesses or nations, their members set aside time to formally remember their shared past. This phenomenon - this social or collective memory - reveals as much about a group's sense of place i…
New Essays on Wise Blood
Toward "A New Southern Studies"
The life histories of academic fields of study are punctuated by revolutions. The field of southern literary studies has been in the process of such a change over the past several years. Anthologies for classroom use reflect this change by trying to capture commercial value as textbooks of the "new." The South in Perspective (Prentice Hall, 2001), edited by Edward Francisco, Robert Vaughan, and Linda Francisco, is one such anthology; it strives t…

Inventing Southern Literature
I take...an outward route, arguing that Agrarian project was and must be seen as willed campaign on part of one elite to establish and control 'the South' in period of intense cultural maneuvering. The principal organizers of I'll Take My Stand knew full well there were other 'Souths' than one they touted; they deliberately presented fabricated as one and only real thing. In Inventing Southern Literature Michael Kreyling casts penetrating ray upo…
Prophets of Recognition
An arresting comparative analysis, Prophets of Recognition invites readers to consider four well-known post-World War II American novels, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Saul Bellow's Seize the Day, and Eudora Welty's The Optimist's Daughter, from a different perspective. Julia Eichelberger argues that although these writers are quite diverse and thus usually assigned to separate categories, they share a common conc…

Nationalism and the Color Line in George W. Cable, Mark Twain, and William Faulkner
The House of Percy
The novels of Walker Percy-The Moviegoer, Lancelot, The Second Coming, and The Thanatos Syndrome to name a few-have left a permanent mark on twentieth-century Southern fiction; yet the history of the Percy family in America matches anything, perhaps, that he could have created. Two centuries of wealth, literary accomplishment, political leadership, depression, and sometimes suicide established a fascinating legacy that lies behind Walker Percy's …
New Essays on Wise Blood
This 1995 volume of critical essays on Wise Blood, Flannery O'Connor's explosive first novel, not only questions our understanding of the 'Southern Gothic,' but launches an inquiry into the nature and history of O'Connor's critical reputation. Perceived as a 'classic' American writer despite the double setbacks of being a woman and a twentieth-century author, O'Connor continues to speak with striking clarity and disturbing vision to successive ge…

The Southern Vision of Andrew Lytle
Three Catholic Writers of the Modern South
This is the first full-length study of the literary phenomenon in which the modern South, heartland of evangelical Protestantism, has produced significant Roman Catholic writers. This study focuses on Allen Tate, Caroline Gordon, and Walker Percy, converts to Roman Catholicism, and explores their arduous efforts to achieve perception and articulation, together with the art resulting from their struggles. Many parallels exist in the careers of Tat…
