This is the second edition of the first book-length treatment of the South's veneration of the classics and how it has distinguished her literature and culture for four centuries. In this much enlarged second edition, Kibler includes authors from the colonial era through James Dickey to broaden his finding. This new edition also expands the treatment of British cultural ties by showing how both the South and the agrarian English Gentry were shaped from classical models in ways that differed markedly from an American "city upon a hill" mentality.
