South in Perspective An Anthology of Southern Literature

THE SOUTH IN PERSPECTIVE demonstrates the ongoing richness, diversity, and distinctiveness of Southern literature. Featuring in-depth historical and cultural introductions and a strong emphasis on literature in historical context, readers are given the opportunity to study the included works in their appropriate context. Divided into six chronological periods representing Southern literature from both the upper and lower south, and including a section on the literature of Appalachia, this text includes works not previously anthologized in such a collection. Selections such as the Scopes' Trial Transcripts, John Wilkes' and Asia Booth's correspondence, and early Southern drama give students a unique and often overlooked understanding of Southern literature.Francisco, Edward is the author of 'South in Perspective An Anthology of Southern Literature', published 2000 under ISBN 9780130114907 and ISBN 0130114901.
