Southern Literature: Michael Kreyling As A Southern Writer

Michael Kreyling had impacted the critics by inventing Southern Literature. His ideal creation was not to reflect on literature being invented, but to differentiate the word “Southren” into an adjective. Kreyling’s attempted to deny the South its culture, history, geography, and literature by modifying the adjective to “Southern.” Prior to Germany and Italy collaborating, literature was at its best in 1835. Kreyling made several attempts to modify the identity of the Southern Culture by intentionally focusing on the negative aspects. It is stated that Mark Twain was accepted as a writer in the 19th century after his death. Many of the people felt he had issues with racial altitudes and doubts about the Lost Cause, which caused the Company of Celebrated Southern Writers to exclude him. Therefore, Mark Twain should have become a political active writer after the war. Conflict arose upon Twain’s attending the Victoria atmosphere of post-bellum South Academia. Apparently, his method of writing did not coincide with partisan politics of the former Confederacy.
Unfortunately, the English department became uncomfortable, which resulted in totally excluding him.
According to F. Conner (2016), “It was not until the Southern Civil Rights battle made a writer with his outspoken anti-racist stand badly needed that Mark Twain was allowed in the Southern College classroom and was found to possess enough anthology-worthy southerness, after having been persona non grata in classrooms and anthologies for about fifty years after his death.” In conclusion Southern literature became successful in the 1900’s which allowed them to publish more modern editions from the same publishing company. After reviewing the new Southern Literature, editions were released and Samuel Clemens better known as Mark Twain, did not appear to be listed as a southerner or a southern writer. But the never the less, his name continues to exude throughout the country of the United States and
Europe.
