- Summary
- "Jacob E. Rivers's Cultural Values in the Southern Sporting Narrative examines classic southern fiction - along with lesser known literary works - with an eye to the ways that southern writers such as William Elliott, William Gilmore Simms, and William Faulkner depict hunting and outdoorsmanship.
- Blending literary history with sociology and cultural criticism, Rivers explores the recurring themes of honor, fair play, and noblesse oblige and illustrates how the sporting genre has reflected the moral consciousness of the American South."--BOOK JACKET.
