Southern Writers: A Biographical Dictionary Paperback - 1980

by Joseph M. Flora (Editor); Amber Vogel (Editor)


From the publisher

Biographical sketches of 378 writers associated with the American South are included in this important new reference work.

The editors, each of whom is an outstanding scholar in southern literary studies, are:
