They fall into two categories. Some, born into the working class, strove to become writers and learned without benefit of higher education, such writers as Larry Brown and William Gay. Others came from lower- or middle-class backgrounds and became writers through practice and education: Dorothy Allison, Tom Franklin, Tim Gautreaux, Clyde Edgerton, Kaye Gibbons, Silas House, Jill McCorkle, Chris Offutt, Ron Rash, Lee Smith, Brad Watson, Daniel Woodrell, and Steve Yarbrough. Their twenty-first-century colleagues are Wiley Cash, Peter Farris, Skip Horack, Michael Farris Smith, Barb Johnson, and Jesmyn Ward. In his seminal article, Erik Bledsoe distinguishes Rough South writers from such writers as William Faulkner and Erskine Caldwell. Younger writers who followed Harry Crews were born into and write about the Rough South. These writers undercut stereotypes, forcing readers to see the working poor differently. The next pieces begin with those on Crews and Cormac McCarthy, major influences on an entire generation. Later essays address members of both groups--the self-educated and the college-educated. Both groups share a clear understanding of the value of working-class southerners. Nearly all of the writers hold a reverence for the South's landscape and its inhabitants as well as an affinity for realistic depictions of setting and characters"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a American literature $z Southern States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Authors, American $z Southern States $x History. 651 0 $a Southern States $x In literature. 650 0 $a Working class in literature. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Working class in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180556 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900 - 2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Cash, Jean W., $d 1938- $e editor. 700 1 $a Perry, Keith Ronald, $d 1967- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Rough South, rural South. $d Jackson, Mississippi : University Press of Mississippi, 2016 $z 9781496804969 $w (DLC) 2015027039 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers/1343/3049198/image/lgcover.9781496802330.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826045443.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DD137746B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
