Consisting of over 30 original contributions, each of them written by an acknowledged authority in their field, the "Companion" reveals the diversity of the Southern region, as expressed in different forms of thought, work, and imaginative play.

These include Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, William Faulkner, Zora Neale Hurston, Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, and range from the earliest writers in the region to all those - black and white, male and female - who are writing now. |
