Nationalism and the Colour Line in George W.Cable, Mark Twain and William Faulkner

by Barbara Ladd

Published 1 November 1996

A study of the works by three postbellum novelists with strong ties to the Deep South and Mississippi Valley. It argues that writers like Cable, Twain, and Faulkner cannot be read exclusively within the context of a nationalistically defined American literature.
