The American South received increased attention from national
commentators during the interwar era. Beginning in the 1920s, the
proliferation of daily book columns and Sunday book supplements in
newspapers reflected a growing audience of educated readers and its
demand for books and book reviews. This period of intensified
scrutiny coincided with a boom in the publishing industry, which,
in turn, encouraged newspapers to pay greater attention to the
world of books. Reviewing the South shows how northern critics were
as much involved in the Southern Literary Renaissance as Southern
authors and critics. Southern writing, Gardner argues, served as a
litmus to gauge Southern exceptionalism. For critics and their
readers, nothing less than the region's ability to contribute to
the vibrancy and growth of the nation was at stake.
