Contemporary Southern Women Fiction Writers: An Annotated Bibliography (Magill Bibliographies)
(What many critics call the third wave of the Southern Ren...)
What many critics call the third wave of the Southern Renaissance has produced a number of impressive women writers, notably in the novel and short story genres. The contemporary Southern women writers selected for inclusion range from those who are well-established, for example, Gail Godwin, Shirley Ann Grau, Lee Smith, and Alice Walker, to those, such as Jill McCorkle and Sylvia Wilkinson, whose reputations are still being built. In twenty-eight chapters, each devoted to a specific writer, the authors of this book list, summarize, and evaluate relevant books and essays, as well as significant reviews and interviews, and, in some cases, useful newspaper stories. In a separate section, over ninety critical works of major importance in women's studies and in the study of Southern literature are similarly noted. Christopher J. Canfield's introduction explains the authors' rationale and includes additional bibliographical suggestions. Written in clear, non-technical language, this book is an important tool for students of contemporary literature.

Contemporary Southern Men Fiction Writers
(From the irrepressible character of William Faulkner to c...)
From the irrepressible character of William Faulkner to current popular excitement over Cormac McCarthy, Southern fiction remains a vibrant and colorful part of American fiction. This carefully annotated bibliography lists sources of criticism for thirty-nine Southern male authors, each of whom has published at least one significant book of fiction between 1970 and 1994. The book broadens the term "Southern," by including men who were raised in the South and have since left, such as Robert Morgan and Ernest Gaines, and those who have never lived in the South but nevertheless consider it the appropriate setting for all their fictional work, such as Robert Olen Butler. The selection criteria tends toward exposing the lesser known critical interpretations of important authors and providing unusual glances at their creative work. The book includes critical material that could be overlooked, such as interviews and uncollected essays, as well as the better known critical sources, such as individual author bibliographies. A priceless work of scholarship.
