Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Southern Literature When, in the development of a nation, the extent of territory inhabited by that people becomes so great as to preclude a mutual understanding of the diverse customs and feelings of the various sections, it is but natural and indeed necessary that such a commonwealth should have more than one distinct type of literature, and that these types should be in many traits exceedingly different. Such, for instance, is fast becoming the condition of letters in the British Empire. The writings of Canada are by no means the same as those of England; neither are those of India or of Australia. The difference between French Literature and Provencal Literature is even more marked. In the study of American Letters it has sometimes been doubted whether that district commonly known as "the South" has produced a literature so different in its fundamental conception and growth as to deserve separate attention. They alone doubt whose knowledge of the subject is limited. The chief blame for the lamentable fact that until very recently American scholars have failed to recognize a literature of the South must be placed not upon the North, which has been busy extolling its own representative writings, but upon the South itself, which, because of its genial carelessness and procrastination before the Civil War and its poverty and struggles since that conflict, has suffered the critical spirit to lie dormant and its story-tellers and poets to pass almost unnoticed.
