Synopsis
Simpson was editor of the Southern Review from 1965 through 1987, and he has contributed in many other ways as well during four decades of literary scholarship.

Among the essays: History and the Will of the Artist Elizabeth Madox Roberts; The Loneliness Artist Robert Penn Warren; A Fable of White and Black Jefferson, Madison, Tate; and From Thoreau to Walker Percy.

About the Author
Lewis P. Simpson is Boyd Professor at Louisiana State University.
From Library Journal
With a breadth and depth unsurpassed by any other cultural historian of the South, Simpson (English emeritus, Louisiana State Univ.) examines the writing of Southerners Thomas Jefferson, John Randolph, Mark Twain, Robert Penn Warren, Allen Tate, William Faulkner, Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Arthur Crew Inman, William Styron, and Walker Percy. Simpson offers challenging essays of easy erudition blessedly free of academic jargon. Written within the last decade, these 11 essays--including a culminating personal essay--do not propose to support an overall thesis but simply explore the Southern writer's unique relationship with his or her region, bereft of myth and tradition, in the grasp of science and history. Recommended for all academic American literature collections and large public libraries in the South.
