McWilliams, Tennant. Hannis Taylor: The New Southerner As An American. University of Alabama Press. University, AL. 1978. 163pp "Hannis Taylor... was a man of insatiable ambition whose career was a long succession of frustrations. But if Taylor never achieved the heights to which he aspired, either in Alabama or in the nation, his persistent opportunism usually assured him a place at least on the fringes of the centers of power. A study of men like Taylor is important, among other reasons... [for] what it reveals about a particular type of individual [who is] virtually always involved in public affairs and especially in reform movements such as progressivism. In turn, it illuminates progressivism. Moreover, the author takes pains to emphasize the special problems confronting a southerner of the New South variety such as Taylor, who quested for identification with national causes."--Willard B. Gatewood, Jr., the University of Arkansas. Description: VG copy in blue boards with gilt titles. Tiny bit of shelf wear to lower edge. Text block is clean, tight and unmarked.
