The Fourth Ghost - White Southern Writers and European Fascism, 1930-1950

Informationen zum Autor Robert H. Brinkmeyer, Jr., is professor of English and southern studies at the University of South Carolina. He is the author of Remapping Southern Literature: Contemporary Southern Writers and the West, Katherine Anne Porter's Artistic Development: Primitivism, Traditionalism, and Totalitarianism, The Art and Vision of Flannery O'Connor, and Three Catholic Writers of the Modern South. Klappentext The Fourth Ghost examines how white Southern writers from the 1930s confronted a crucial question haunting their identities as southerners and coloring their imaginative visions: how did the authoritarianism and the racial politics of European fascism, particularly that of Nazi Germany, relate to southern culture? Writers examined in this wide-ranging study include the Nashville Agrarians, W. J. Cash, William Alexander Percy, Lillian Smith, Thomas Wolfe, William Faulkner, Katherine Anne Porter, Carson McCullers, Robert Penn Warren, and Lillian Hellman.
