Classifying the South: Library of Congress subject headings and their impact upon United States southern literature.
McWilliam, Fiona M.

Classifying the South: Library of Congress subject headings and their impact upon United States southern literature. - 44 p.

Adviser: Taylor Hagood.

Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2008.

Classifying any body of literature is a difficult process, and for United States southern literature, the difficulty of classification and the resounding implications are amplified because of the difficulty in defining what "southern" is. While on-going critical discussion of the South has explored these issues, thus far, scholarly discourse on southern literature and the problems of classification has been limited to the realm of the theoretical. The primary focus of this study, however, is to consider practical implications of classifying the South by evaluating the way subject headings implemented by the Library of Congress not only classify, but also influence and shape southern literature. Considering how southern literature is defined by these subject headings may prove to be a useful tool, aiding in the current reevaluation of the South and its literature, and shedding light on how constructed borders affect users, as well as the literature itself.
