Joel Chandler Harris was internationally famous in his own time and
has a surprisingly broad scholarly and popular following in ours.
His portraits of slaves and former slaves, particularly Uncle Remus
and Free Joe, poor whites, and Brer Rabbit, the archetypal
trickster hero, have influenced many other writers, including Mark
Twain, Charles Chesnutt, William Faulkner, Ralph Ellison, Toni
Morrison, and a wide array of children's authors from Beatrix
Potter to A. A. Milne. Harris also left a lasting mark on popular
culture, most clearly manifested through Disney's ^ISong of the
South^R and at Disney World attractions featuring versions of
Harris's characters. He singlehandedly preserved and made
internationally famous the Brer Rabbit folktales, the largest body
of African American oral folklore that the world has ever known.
Additionally, Harris was a major New South journalist who
accelerated the process of reconciliation between North and South
and promoted racial tolerance after the Civil War. This reference
book is a complete bibliographic guide to the scholarly response to
Harris during the last two decades. The introduction explores such
issues as Harris's renderings of black dialect, Southern character,
and folklore, and his influence on popular culture. The first part
is a supplement to Bickley's earlier bibliography of Harris, which
covered the period 1862-1976. The second part provides more than
300 entries for books, articles, and dissertations about Harris
published after 1976. Entries are grouped in sections according to
year of publication, and then alphabetically within each section.
Each entry is fully annotated, and a detailed index concludes the
volume.
