M. E. Bradford x 3
As part of my ongoing effort to amass all of Mel Bradford's writings, I have transcribed one essay and produced PDFs from two items in my collection.
Had to make a trip to Vanderbilt’s library to find this one from 1969: “‘New Men’ in Mississippi: Absalom, Absalom! and Dollar Cotton.” Notes on Mississippi Writers 2 (fall): 55-66.
From 1973: “The Care and Keeping of Memory: J. Evetts Haley and Plutarchian Biography.” Southwestern American Literature 3:69-70. Reprinted in J. Evetts Haley and the Passing of the Old West, edited by Chandler A. Robinson, 41-50. Austin: Jenkins Publishing Co., 1978.
From 1991: “The Theology of Secession.” Southern Partisan 11, no. 4: 20-25. Reprinted in So Good a Cause: A Decade of “Southern Partisan,” edited by Oran P. Smith, 12-19. Columbia, S.C.: Foundation for American Education, 1993.
