    The Postsouthern Sense of Place in Contemporary Fiction
    • Exploring the southern "sense of place," Martyn Bone connects regional literature to broader national and global themes. He analyzes the works of notable Neo-Agrarian writers like Faulkner and Welty, alongside contemporary authors responding to capitalist influences on the South, particularly in Atlanta. Through close readings of novels by various writers, Bone delves into concepts of capital, land, labor, and class. He concludes that the southern sense of place may extend beyond its borders, revealing a transnational dimension in literature.
