A Southern Renaissance cover

This perceptive study of a major cultural movement shows how Southern writers of 1930 t0 1955 tried to come to terms with Southern tradition, and discusses the resulting body of significant literature - fiction, poetry, memoirs, and historical writing.

"A Southern Renaissance is a richer book than I can begin to convey. It is witty, learned and felt, with a relevance beyond the geographical borders of its subject." --Stephen J. Whitfield, The New Leader
"A book that henceforth every serious student of southern history and southern literature will have to take into account."--David Herbert Donald, The New Republic
