The South That Wasn't There - Postsouthern Memory and History

Informationen zum Autor Michael Kreyling, professor of English at Vanderbilt University, is the author of several books, including Author and Agent: Eudora Welty and Diarmuid Russell and Inventing Southern Literature, and co-editor (with Richard Ford) of the Library of America's two volumes of Eudora Welty's works. Klappentext Once, history and "the South" dwelt in close proximity. Representations of the South in writing and on film assumed "everybody knew" what had happened in place and time to create the South. Today, our vision of the South varies, and there is less "there there" than ever before. In The South That Wasn't There, Michael Kreyling explores a series of literary situations in which memory and history seem to work in odd and problematic ways. Lively and frequently confrontational, The South That Wasn't There offers a thought provoking reexamination of our literary conceptions about the South.
