The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture

“[A] multi-year, multi-dimensional, and unprecedented series.” — Library Journal

“The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture is terrific . . . It includes so much more material, with a lot of new scholars writing about topics scholars had not discussed before.” — Southern Register

“It contains much material that anyone posing as an authority on the culture of the South ought to know.” — North Carolina Historical Review

“Scholars, students, and the wider public will find the encyclopedia a thoughtful introduction and a source for deeper knowledge on the role of medicine and science in Southern life. Nuances, surprises, and critical ideas abound in this great read.” — Susan M. Reverby, Wellesley College

“An excellent, engrossing volume on the fascinating landscape of science and medicine in the American South. A judicious mix of broad topics and particular events and individuals, this well-edited text is scholarship of the first rank. It will be an essential guide for anyone seeking knowledge of science and medicine in this important region.” — Steven M. Stowe, Indiana University, author of Doctoring the South: Southern Physicians and Everyday Medicine in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
