Since the early nineteenth century, Georgia has produced an
impressive number of distinguished fiction writers, from Joel
Chandler Harris, Sidney Lanier, Flannery O'Connor, and Carson
McCullers to such present-day voices as Alice Walker, James Dickey,
and Pat Conroy. Containing thirty-nine stories and excerpts from
novels, this first volume reveals a literary legacy as rich as any
the country has produced. Humorous and tragic, nostalgic and
cynical, romantic and realistic, the writings gathered here
represent the full range of fiction that has emerged from the
state's talented writers. Over the years Georgians have written
about the themes and subjects that have inspired writers across
history and throughout the world: family, war, hardship, ambition,
love, death, change, the search for knowledge and meaning. As Hugh
Ruppersburg notes in his introduction, however, the state has
provided its writers with a distinct history, culture, and sense of
place. Georgia's frontier and agricultural past, its Civil War
experience, the rise of its cities and industries and the
subsequent decline of rural traditions, and the civil rights
movement have all played a part in shaping its distinctive literary
landscape. Georgia Voices is a three-volume anthology highlighting
the impressive achievements of Georgia writers in fiction,
nonfiction, and poetry.
