Reading for the Body: The Recalcitrant Materiality of Southern Fiction, 1893-1985 - The New Southern Studies
Jay Watson
Jay Watson argues that southern literary studies has been overidealized and dominated by intellectual history for too long. In Reading for the Body, he calls for the field to be rematerialized and grounded in an awareness of the human body as the site where ideas, including ideas about the U. S. South itself, ultimately happen.
