“For a guide-book it is too heavy in bulk and too full of irrelevant matter; for a serious history it is too ill-arranged and indefinite.”

Holliday, Carl. History of southern literature. $2.50. Neale.
6–41030.
The purpose of Mr. Holliday’s volume is “to make a study of the various literary movements and their results, and to show that the writings of this section are not merely disconnected efforts of isolated thinkers, but, rather, the natural, logical, and continuous productions of a people differing so materially in views and sentiments from their neighbors on the north that even civil war was necessary to prevent their becoming separate nations.” The subject is treated under the following headings: The beginnings, The period of national consciousness, The revolutionary period, The period of expansion, The civil war period, and The new South.
