| Summary: |
Ever since its publication in 1941, this book has been recognized as a path-breaking work of scholarship and as a literary achievement of enormous eloquence and insight in its own right. From its investigation of the Southern class system to its pioneering assessments of the region's legacies of racism, religiosity, and romanticism, this book defined the way in which millions of readers- on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line- would see the South for decades to come. This new 50th anniversary edition includes an incisive analysis of the author himself and of his crucial place in the history of modern Southern letters. -- Publisher description Discusses Southern culture and social conditions, and describes the intellectual attitudes of the New South. |
