Take a look at where we started!
As we start to celebrate our 25th year of publication, we look back at the first essay in our inaugural issue.
In light of the events in Charlottesville on Saturday, August 12, we share this excerpted essay from our 1993 inaugural issue.
"Are the days of the southern accent or the southern dialect in fact numbered?"
"With virtually each passing year, the South's representation in the humanities becomes more elusive."
"The narrative that follows is a quintessential American story."

"Richard Weaver observed once that the religious 'solid South' preceded the political one; and apparently it will be longer lived, as well."
"Despite the vision and commitment behind them, these initial efforts were too meagerly funded to go far toward solving a critical problem of southern studies: the scarcity of accessible original sources, print as well as manuscript."
