Traces a line of southern writers from the early nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth, finding that an obsessive need to defend the South and the oft-noted “rage to explain†drove some creative writers to make forays into history and biography in an effort to enter a more public sphere where they could influence interpretations of the past.
