Very little biographical data concerning Tom Person is available in print. To supplement the information in Who's Who Monthly Supplement, in Mrs. Person's scrapbook, and on book jackets, this writer contacted the Person family, a profitable experience both from the standpoint of information obtained and from the personal satisfaction of knowing fine people. Friends of the Persons also were most helpful in furnishing further details about the family. Letters from a plantation owner, a lawyer, a newspaper columnist, an educator, and other interesting friends included pertinent biographical and critical data. The biographical section treats Person's early years, his literary apprenticeship as a writer of short stories, his family, his friends, and his work"--Introduction.

Next there is a discussion of the volumes about Southern rivers, including an analysis of the authors' qualifications, organization, scope, treatment, reviewer's opinions, and recommendations by library book selection aids of each volume. Incidental treatment is given to the illustrator's qualifications and the general use of art work in the volumes. The summation attempts to show the success or failure of these volumes about Southern rivers to meet the criteria outlined for the series in the prospectus and to indicate some basic changes in the contents, the variety of reviewers' attitudes through the years, and the importance of these books as Southern regional writing.

Abstract/Description
"Katharine Anne Porter, since the appearance of her first work, Flowering Judas, in 1930, has achieved a place of distinction among American writers. It has been said of her that 'Few persons have built so solid a reputation on so small a published output.' With the emergence of Miss Porter as a figure of importance on the literary horizon, it seems fitting to make readily accessible for those who might be interested a list of works by her and works about her.

With the emergence of Miss Porter as a figure of importance on the literary horizon, it seems fitting to make readily accessible for those who might be interested a list of works by her and works about her. The bibliography which has been undertaken to achieve this consists of two parts: an annotated bibliography of works by her and a checklist of works about her. In each case the bibliography is as complete as available materials permit"--Introduction.
