Reflections of the Civil War in Southern Humor: University of Florida Monographs, Humanities, No. 10, Spring, 1962

""Reflections of the Civil War in Southern Humor"" is a scholarly work by Wade H. Hall, published as part of the University of Florida Monographs series in the spring of 1962. The book explores the ways in which Southern humorists used their craft to reflect and comment on the Civil War and its aftermath. Hall examines the work of several well-known Southern humorists, including Mark Twain, William Faulkner, and Eudora Welty, as well as lesser-known writers like George Washington Harris and Johnson Jones Hooper. Through close analysis of their stories, essays, and sketches, Hall shows how these writers used humor to explore themes such as race, class, and the meaning of Southern identity in the wake of the war. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Southern literature, American humor, or the cultural impact of the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
