Talk that puts the psychological landscape of the American South “in context”
Richard Gray will be talking about what makes the American South different, special and even strange. He will be placing the photographs on display in the exhibition in the contexts of Southern history and mythology and, in particular, in the context of Southern literature – how writers from the region have created a place that seems to exist somewhere between the actual and the imagined.
Richard Gray is a Professor of Literature at the University of Essex, and the first specialist in American literature to be elected a Fellow of the British Academy.
