Excerpt from Library of Southern Literature, Vol. 14: Compiled Under the Direct Supervision of Southern Men of Letters
The purpose and plan Of this volume Of 'the Library Of Southern Literature' may be gathered by a reference to the table of contents. It does not contain the left-overs from the preceding thirteen volumes but serves rather as their comple ment. The history of a nation's literature or of a part Of a nation's literature cannot be adequately written if the com piler confines himself to the names of the known master builders. Such a method would exclude ballads and folksongs. It would exclude the countless short poems and incisive say ings, the songs and stories that wander unattached through literature but that none the less embody and in time te-create a people's ideals. Even when the name Of the writer is known, the poem may assume an individuality apart from that Of the poet. The poem lives but has not bulk enough to entitle its author to a place among poets. The Star Spangled Banner and Dixie, for example, reflect history and have helped to make history. They belong, therefore, to literature, though their authors may not be entitled to formal recognition among American poets.
This volume, then, has an individuality Of its own. While it is related to the preceding volumes, it has also a certain completeness in itself.
