Lewis P. Simpson The Fable of the Southern Writer
Louisiana State Univ Pr 1994-03 0807118710 / 9780807118719 Hardcover Very Good
0807118710 0807118710 Clean, tight and unmarked. Editorial Reviews From Library Journal With a breadth and depth unsurpassed by any other cultural historian of the South, Simpson (English emeritus, Louisiana State Univ.) examines the writing of Southerners Thomas Jefferson, John Randolph, Mark Twain, Robert Penn Warren, Allen Tate, William Faulkner, Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Arthur Crew Inman, William Styron, and Walker Percy. Simpson offers challenging essays of easy erudition blessedly free of academic jargon. Written within the last decade, these 11 essays--including a culminating personal essay--do not propose to support an overall thesis but simply explore the Southern writer's unique relationship with his or her region, bereft of myth and tradition, in the grasp of science and history. Recommended for all academic American literature collections and large public libraries in the South. - Charles C. Nash, Cottey Coll., Nevada, Mo. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review "An intellectual feast for anyone who has ever puzzled over the dilemma of the southern writer struggling with his strata-laden awareness of too much history." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
