The Oxford Handbook of the Literature of the U.S. South brings
together contemporary views of the literature of the region in a
series of chapters employing critical tools not traditionally used
in approaching southern literature. It assumes ideas of the
South-global, multicultural, plural: more Souths than South-that
would not have been embraced two or three decades ago, and it
similarly expands the idea of literature itself. Representative of
the current range of activity in the field of southern literary
studies, it challenges earlier views of antebellum southern
literature, as well as, in its discussions of twentieth century
writing, questions the assumption that the Southern Renaissance of
the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s was the supreme epoch of southern
expression, that writing to which all that had come before had led
and by which all that came afterward was judged. As well as
canonical southern writers, it examines Native American literature,
Latina/o literature, Asian American as well as African American
literatures, Caribbean studies, sexuality studies, the relationship
of literature to film, and a number of other topics which are
relatively new to the field.
