CHRONICLES OF THE SOUTH edited by Clyde N. Wilson

Our complete coverage of Dixie—in two volumes.

Chronicles Press has collected the best articles on the South published in Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture into two handsome volumes.  Edited (with an Introduction in each volume) by historian Clyde N. Wilson, Chronicles of the South covers everything from agrarianism and Bob Jones to reconstruction and race.

From the editor:

Chronicles, almost alone among American journals, has amazingly and refreshingly avoided all the fashionable pseudo-intellectual games and rites of exorcism and treated us Southern people like any other people. It has honored the simple proposition that Dixie is real, is something worth looking at plainly, has a right to speak for itself, and perhaps even deserves a little appreciation. The fruits of such proceeding can be seen in this rich selection of articles and writers from several decades.

—Clyde N. Wilson
