C. Vann Woodward's The Burden of Southern History remains one of
the essential history texts of our time. In it Woodward brilliantly
addresses the interrelated themes of southern identity, southern
distinctiveness, and the strains of irony that characterize much of
the South's historical experience. First published in 1960, the
book quickly became a touchstone for generations of students. This
updated third edition contains a chapter, "Look Away, Look Away,"
in which Woodward finds a plethora of additional ironies in the
South's experience. It also includes previously uncollected
appreciations of Robert Penn Warren, to whom the book was
originally dedicated, and William Faulkner. This edition also
features a new foreword by historian William E. Leuchtenburg in
which he recounts the events that led up to Woodward's writing The
Burden of Southern History, and reflects on the book's -- and
Woodward's -- place in the study of southern history. The Burden of
Southern History is quintessential Woodward -- wise, witty,
ruminative, daring, and as alive in the twenty-first century as
when it was written.
