Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Southern Poems Selected, Arranged and Edited: With Biographical Notes
These poems are selected from the wide range of Southern poetry, that the South's contribution to our national literature may be in part apprehended. For a long time the productions of Southern writers were so inaccessible that authors Of text-books on American Literature were disposed to neglect them altogether; and even later the admission of any Southern author, save one or two of international fame, was somewhat grudging and apologetic. In recent years, especially since the publication of the Library of Southern Literature, by which a new perspective for American literature was afforded, fuller treatment has been accorded these Southern authors; but very few stu dents1 of American literature have yet comprehended clearly and fully that, for some periods of our literary history and in some significant and far-reaching move ments, literature in the South has been the dominant and controlling factor.
