Recently published A Web of Words The Great Dialogue of Southern Literature Richard Gray "Richard Gray is writing at the top of his game, moving fluidly between the large picture of Southern writing and innumerable smaller ones. Addressing himself to the reciprocities between Southern literary history and the individual writers who make up that history, he has wonderful things to say about their interactions and their conversations with each other, their peers, and their forebears. This is a book for beginners and for seasoned veterans of Southern literary study." -Noel Polk, editor of The Mississippi Quarterly $34.95 hardcover ISBN 978-0-8203-3005-1	Now available in paperback Henry Adams and the Southern Question Michael O'Brien "A short but illuminating study . . .
