Bücher von Don H. Doyle

William Faulkner invented his famous American fictional place, Yoknapatawpha, by basing it upon Lafayette County, Mississippi, his own home place. This book charts four centuries of the area, drawing upon the stories where Faulkner ""sublimated the actual into the apocryphal"".

Cities were the core of a changing economy and culture that penetrated the rural hinterland and remade the South in the decades following the Civil War. In New Men, New Cities, New South, Don Doyle argues that if the plantation was the world the slaveholders made, the urban centres of the New South formed the world made by merchants, manufacturers, and financiers.
