Description

Book Synopsis
Pinpointing World War I as the catalyst, David Davis argues southern modernism was not a self-generating outburst of writing, but a response to the disruptions modernity generated in the region. In World War I and Southern Modernism, Davis examines dozens of works of literature by writers that depict the South during the war.

Trade Review
"Davis’s project remains a critical one: the formative influence of the war on the cultural products of the US South remains underexplored, and he has uncovered many crucial sources. World War I and Southern Modernism opens the door on an essential topic." — ALH Online Review, XIX.1 (2019)
