Southern Literary Studies

Series Editor: Fred Hobson, Lineberger Professor in the Humanities, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

LSU Press’s Southern Literary Studies series began in 1963 and has published books on virtually every aspect of the literature of the American South that scholars have explored since that time. The series’ founding editor was the legendary Louis D. Rubin Jr., who served until 1993, when the present editor, Fred Hobson, took over.

Among the many outstanding books published in the series are The Complete Works of Kate Chopin, edited by Per Seyersted; Selected Letters of Robert Penn Warren (four volumes to date), edited by William Bedford Clark, Randy Hendricks, and James A. Perkins; The Fable of the Southern Writer, by Lewis P. Simpson; Resisting History: Gender, Modernity, and Authorship in William Faulkner, Zora Neale Hurston, and Eudora Welty, by Barbara Ladd; and The Companion to Southern Literature, edited by Joseph M. Flora and Lucinda H. MacKethan.

Today the Southern Literary Studies series continues full steam ahead, as LSU Press seeks to add more works that will “tell about the South.”
