Southern Literature From 1579-1895: A Comprehensive Review, With Copious Extracts and Criticisms is an expansive survey of the literary history and cultural development of the Southern United States. Authored by Louise Manly, this work provides a thorough examination of the writers who defined the region's intellectual and creative output over more than three hundred years. Spanning from the early colonial period to the end of the 19th century, the volume includes significant biographical details, critical analyses, and carefully selected extracts from a wide range of poets, essayists, and novelists.

The book serves as an essential resource for understanding the evolution of Southern letters, highlighting the unique social and historical forces that shaped its literature. By combining scholarly criticism with primary source material, Manly offers a window into the diverse voices and stylistic shifts that characterized the American South. This comprehensive review remains a significant contribution to the study of American regionalism and provides readers with a deep appreciation for the literary heritage of the South.
