Hugh Ruppersburg 
The New Georgia Encyclopedia Companion to Georgia Literature [PDF ebook] 

Підтримка

Georgia has played a formative role in the writing of America. Few states have produced a more impressive array of literary figures, among them Conrad Aiken, Erskine Caldwell, James Dickey, Joel Chandler Harris, Carson Mc Cullers, Flannery O’Connor, Jean Toomer, and Alice Walker.
This volume contains biographical and critical discussions of Georgia writers from the nineteenth century to the present as well as other information pertinent to Georgia literature. Organized in alphabetical order by author, the entries discuss each author’s life and work, contributions to Georgia history and culture, and relevance to wider currents in regional and national literature. Lists of recommended readings supplement most entries.
Especially important Georgia books have their own entries: works of social significance such as Lillian Smith’s Strange Fruit, international publishing sensations like Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind, and crowning artistic achievements including Jean Toomer’s Cane. The literary culture of the state is also covered, with information on the Georgia Review and other journals; the Georgia Center for the Book, which promotes authors and reading; and the Townsend Prize, given in recognition of the year’s best fiction. This is an essential volume for readers who want both to celebrate and learn more about Georgia’s literary heritage.
