Charleston and the surrounding lowcountry of South Carolina have stimulated a host of literary endeavours and accomplishments. In this anthology, Editor Worthington has assembled a chronological selection of generous excerpts from some of the best writers who have lived in Charleston and/or used it as a locale, including: William Bartram, William Gilmore Simms, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, Amy Lowell, Owen Wister, DuBose Heyward, Josephine Humphreys, James Dickey, Pat Conroy and others. A foreword by distinguished scholar and author Louis D. Rubin and an Introduction by the editor provide an overview of Charleston's rich literary history and a rationale for the inclusion of the authors and the works in this anthology.
