the northeast coast of america -- probably nova scotia, in canada -- in the first decade of the 11th century, almost 400 years before the next recorded european discovery of the new world. the first known and sustained contact between the americas and the rest of the world, however, began with the famous voyage of an italian explorer, christopher columbus, funded by the spanish rulers ferdinand and isabella. columbus's journal in his "epistola," printed in 1493, recounts the trip's drama -- the terror of the men, who feared monsters and thought they might fall off the edge of the world; the near-mutiny; how columbus faked the ships' logs so the men would not know how much farther they had travelled than anyone had gone before; and the first sighting of land as they neared america. the aim of the work is studying of creativity of my course work the southern …

religion, community in one's personal and social life, the use of the southern dialect, and a strong sense of "place." the south's troubled history with racial issues also continually appears in its literature. despite these common themes, there is debate as to what makes writers and their literature "southern." for example, mark twain, a missourian, defined the characteristics that many people associate with southern writing in his novel the adventures of huckleberry finn. in addition, many famous southern writers headed to the northern u.s. as soon as they were old enough to make it on their own. so while geography is a factor, the geographical birth of the author is not the defining factor in southern writing. early and antebellum literature. during the 17th and 18th centuries, english colonists in the southern part of the american colonies produced a number of notable works. two of the most famous were early …

e came poetry and novels about the "lost cause of the confederacy." this nostalgic literature began to appear almost immediately after the war ended; the conquered banner was published on june 24, 1865. these writers idealized the defeated south and its lost culture. prominent writers with this point of view included poets henry timrod, daniel b. lucas, and abram joseph ryan and fiction writer thomas nelson page. others, like african-american writer charles w. chesnutt, dismissed this nostalgia by pointing out the racism and exploitation of blacks that happened during this time period in the south. in 1884, mark twain published what is arguably the most influential southern novel of the 19th century, the adventures of huckleberry finn. ernest hemingway said of the novel, "all modern american literature comes from one book by mark twain called huckleberry finn." this statement applies even more to southern literature because of the novel's frank …
