"Celtic Southern Literature" is a debut book of literary criticism, which challenges the common perception that the culture of white Americans from the southern states, springs from English, or Anglo-Norman roots. The author presents persuasive historical and literary evidence that it was the South's Celtic, or Scots-Irish settlers who had the biggest influence in Southern culture and that their vibrant culture is still felt today. The book discusses the work of William George Simms, Ellen Glasgow, the Agrarians, William Faulkner, Margaret Mitchell, Flannery O'Connor, Pat Conroy, and James Everett Kibler.
