During the first half of the twentieth century, the city of Charleston, South Carolina underwent a cultural revival known as the Charleston Renaissance. Directed at a general as well as a scholarly audience, this volume contains 11 essays on the writing, art, and thought that came from this remarkable community during the period 1900-1940. Topics include, for example, the avant-garde poetry of Beatrice Ravenel, the Gullah-inflected modernism of Julia Peterkin's Scarlet Sister Mary , and the racial politics of historic preservation in Charleston.
