![]() | Apples and Ashes: Literature, Nationalism, and the Confederate States of America Subjects: American literature -- Southern States -- History and criticism; Politics and literature -- Southern States -- History -- 19th century; Confederate States of America -- Intellectual life; Regionalism -- Southern States -- History -- 19th century; Group id; Apples and Ashes offers the first literary history of the Civil War South. The product of extensive archival research, it tells an expansive story about a nation struggling to write itself into existence. Confederate literature was in intimate conversation with other contemporary literary cultures, especially those of the United States and Britain. Thus, Coleman Hutchison argues, it has profound implications for our understanding of American literary nationalism and the relationship between literature and nationalism more broadly. COLEMAN HUTCHISON is an assistant professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin. |
