Description

Review A rich and definitive study that will change how scholars read, think about, and teach the transnational literatures of this region for generations to come.--New West Indian GuideCalypso Magnolia's extensive scope works to challenge the geographic limits of the nation-state and argues for a hemispheric openness, running throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.--American LiteratureA tremendous feat of scholarly investigation and synthesis.--American Literary History Product Description In this far-reaching literary history, John Wharton Lowe remakes the map of American culture by revealing the deep, persistent connections between the ideas and works produced by writers of the American South and the Caribbean. Lowe demonstrates that a tendency to separate literary canons by national and regional boundaries has led critics to ignore deep ties across highly permeable borders. Focusing on writers and literatures from the Deep South and Gulf states in relation to places including Mexico, Haiti, and Cuba, Lowe reconfigures the geography of southern literature as encompassing the ""circumCaribbean,"" a dynamic framework within which to reconsider literary history, genre, and aesthetics.Considering thematic concerns such as race, migration, forced exile, and colonial and postcolonial identity, Lowe contends that southern literature and culture have always transcended the physical and political boundaries of the American South. Lowe uses cross-cultural readings of nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers, including William Faulkner, Martin Delany, Zora Neale Hurston, George Lamming, Cristina Garcia, Edouard Glissant, and Madison Smartt Bell, among many others, to make his argument. These literary figures, Lowe argues, help us uncover new ways of thinking about the shared culture of the South and Caribbean while demonstrating that southern literature has roots even farther south than we realize. About the Author John Wharton Lowe is the Barbara Methvin Professor of English at the University of Georgia, USA.
