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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: From Renaissance to Reformation -- The world the reviewers made -- The cultural economy of reading in the interwar years -- The South meets Harlem -- Confronting Jim Crow -- Away down South in the land of problems -- A class of burden bearers -- The most audacious book ever written by Southerners -- Fiction fights the Civil War -- Epilogue. 650 0 $a American literature $z Southern States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Book reviewing $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a American literature $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Critics $z Northeastern States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Relations $z Northeastern States. 651 0 $a Northeastern States $x Relations $z Southern States. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Northeastern States $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a American literature $x Publishing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807230 650 7 $a Book industries and trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836171 650 7 $a Book reviewing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836232 650 7 $a Critics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883769 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 651 7 $a Northeastern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242521 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Cambridge studies on the American South. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170706035108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F7F5300475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
