The Routledge Companion to Literature of the U.S. South provides a collection of vibrant and multidisciplinary essays by scholars from a wide range of backgrounds working in the field of U.S. southern literary studies. With topics ranging from American studies, African American studies, transatlantic or global studies, multiethnic studies, immigration studies, and gender studies, this volume presents a multi-faceted conversation around a wide variety of subjects in U.S. southern literary studies. The Companion will offer a comprehensive overview of the southern literary studies field, including a chronological history from the U.S. colonial era to the present day and theoretical touchstones, while also introducing new methods of reconceiving region and the U.S. South as inherently interdisciplinary and multi-dimensional. The volume will therefore be an invaluable tool for instructors, scholars, students, and members of the general public who are interested in exploring the field further but will also suggest new methods of engaging with regional studies, American studies, American literary studies, and cultural studies.

Industry Reviews

"One echo above all came to mind when I read the introduction and contents of the new Routledge Companion to Southern Literature: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Jefferson has been placed in both categories over the long haul of southern studies. The editors and contributors to this new volume should be looked at as significant "refreshers." How far we have come from Jay Hubbell's The South in American Literature."

-Michael Kreyling, author of Inventing Southern Literature (1998) and The South That Wasn't There (2010)
