The course will consider the paradox of the social and economic backwardness and the exceptional cultural productivity of states like Mississippi and Georgia, and will reflect on the resources which made a cultural flowering possible. Among the authors to be considered are William Faulkner, Katherine Anne Porter, Eudora Welty, Carson Mc Cullers, Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, Cormac McCarthy, James Dickey and Bobbie Ann Mason. We will also look at more recent texts, exploring transformations of Southern literature in postmodern culture.
We shall also view film versions of fictional texts such as Dickey's Deliverance.
