[Rayner] Cantrell, Greg, KENNETH AND JOHN B. RAYNER AND THE LIMITS OF SOUTHERN DISSENT. University of Illinois Press, 1993. NEW copy. Hardcover with dust jacket. Notes, bibliography, index, 361 pages. "This is a dual account of Kenneth and John Rayner, father and son politicians. Kenneth Rayner "was born in eastern North Carolina. . . . {He}had successful careers in the state and national legislatures as a Whig. . . . Discouraged by increasing immigration, especially of European Roman Catholics, Rayner became a leader of the American Party and worked at the national level to create a 'doctrinaire political nativism.' When that effort failed, he calledon Republican and American Party members to vote together to prevent the election of a Democrat. Still fighting abolition, Rayner became a member of the Republican Party and after the war held minor federal offices. Kenneth Rayner's illegitimate black son, John, was provided with a college education by his father, entered North Carolina Republican politics, married, and removed to Calvert, in Robertson County, Texas."

[Cabell], MacDonald, Edgar E., JAMES BRANCH CABELL AND RICHMOND-IN-VIRGINIA . University Press of Mississippi, 1993. NEW copy. Hardcover in dust jacket, still in shrinkwrap. 373 pages. "Scholars of southern literature of the US will welcome this meticulous and thorough study. Students of southern writers will need this book to understand the development of Cabell's career in the context of his contemporaries, especially Ellen Glasgow. . . . MacDonald does a fine job of explaining that Cabell was more than a writer of fantasies and that his work was grounded in his southernness. Somewhat disappointing, however, is MacDonald's failure to explain just how Cabell influenced great writers such as Faulkner, who are mentioned but not discussed in ways that might illuminate Cabell for readers unfamiliar with his work. As MacDonald admits, Cabell is largely forgotten and thought of as a minor writer, even though in his early career it seemed he would endure as an important figure." OUT OF PRINT.

Sullivan, Walter,
IN PRAISE OF BLOOD SPORTS AND OTHER ESSAYS.
Louisiana State University Press, 1990., F/F, new, unopened. First Edition, Out of print.
Ten essays on Southern writers, British novelists, and the title essay which compares
an older literature of hunting to more recent sports fiction. 123 pp. "Walter Sullivan is
the most eloquent and persuasive--and elegiac--inheritor of the Nashville Fusitive
group, and they should be justly proud of him. What there was of good in the
Agrarians he brings forth with grace and conviction, and where the movement was
lacking he does not hesitate to put his finger. Add to this the fact that as an
interpretive critic he has few peers, and you have an exemplary--and perhaps
permanent--book." [James Dickey].
