Описание: Professor Holliday's book establishes beyond question his contention that the South has produced a literature so distinctive in its fundamental conception and growth as to deserve separate attention. This "History of Southern Literature" is the first effort to give the connected story of the development of the literature of the South from its earliest days to the present time - a worthy undertaking worthily performed. Beginning with "A True Relation of Virginia," written in 1607 by Captain John Smith, Professor Holliday reviews the work of nearly 150 distinctively Southern writers, including, of course, many of minor importance, but including in the list, also, such conspicuous names as Poe, Timrod, Harris, Hayne, Ryan, Lanier, Hopkinson Smith, Murfree, and Page, together with others that are well-known, though less prominent. Professor Holliday's appreciations of the work of the writers whom he discusses are generally just, and his book as a whole is a useful contribution to American literary history.--The Writer: A Monthly Magazine for Literary Workers, Volume 19
