4.9/5 (30523 ratings)

Description:The Southern Experience in Short Fiction is an anthology comprised solely of stories about the South. It is meant for students who are interested in the South and its literature, and who want to study them in greater depth than most textbooks allow. As has frequently been noted, Southern literature in its concerns and techniques is frequently as different from the rest of American literature as the South often is from the nation at large. A collection of Southern stories, then, provides students across the country with an opportunity to view a unique part of America through its own writers and gives Southern students a chance to see their way of life depicted by those in their own region.While we conceive of The Southern Experience in Short Fiction to be essentially a supplementary text for most courses in reading and composition, the diversity of themes and styles represented in this collection is so great that it would by no means be inadequate as the sole literary text for such courses. Indeed we have made a special effort to select stories that are not limited to merely regional concerns. Thus, the reader will find that most of the stories in this text are, like the selections by Faulkner, Ellison, Wright, and O'Connor, more than regional in their appeal.We have included a general introduction which sets the tone for the text by describing those elements of Southern life with which writers frequently deal, and each story is followed by a short commentary, questions, and suggestions for writing. Neither the introduction nor the commentaries, questions, and suggestions are meant to be all-inclusive. Rather, they are geared to elicit thought and discussion, and we hope the instructor and students will see them merely as starting points.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with The Southern Experience in Short Fiction. To get started finding The Southern Experience in Short Fiction, you are right to find our website which has a comprehensive collection of manuals listed.
