Literary South Carolina

More than seventy years have passed since someone has undertaken the enormous task of capturing South Carolina's literary heritage in a book about Palmetto State Writers. "Literary South Carolina" explores the contributions of more than 300 authors, from colonial times to the present. From William Gilmore Simms to Julia Peterkin, from DuBose Heyward to Benjamin Brawley, from Pat Conroy and James Dickey to Percival Everett and Josephine Humphreys, this extraordinary, illustrated volume presents three centuries of literary achievement in South Carolina. A section on contemporary authors includes contact information for these writers.
