Synopsis
In the antebellum South, the «plain folk» maintained social norms, ideals of honor, justice, gender, and liberty that were significantly distinct from town and planter gentility, and the humorists of the Old South captured this important distinction. Southwest humor flourished from the 1830s through the Civil War and this book provides a thorough investigation of the unique and innovative contributions of these humorists to the field of American literary realism, such as use of vernacular authenticity, complex character portraits, and the narrative technique of disclosure. Thus, when the Southwest humorists «tell about the South,» they provide an endlessly entertaining and realistic representation of the vast complexities of the antebellum South and illustrate that the roots of literary realism were sown and nurtured on the southwestern frontier.

About the Author
The Author: Gretchen Martin is Assistant Professor of American and Southern Literature at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise. She received her Ph.D. in American literature from The University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Her publications are in the field of Southwest humor and Southern literature.
From the Back Cover
"In her close readings of an impressive range of texts, Gretchen Martin traces connections between Southwest humor and American literary realism with broad implications for our understandings of both genres. She dispels a lingering sense that the characters created by Longstreet, Lewis, Harris, and others are the victims of narrative here they emerge as full participants in the trickery and the cultural commentary of their own stories."
Kathryn McKee, McMullan Associate Professor of Southern Studies and English, University of Mississippi
