Ulrich Bonnell Phillips: A Southern Historian and His Critics

No other historian of the American South has attracted so much attention as Georgia native Ulrich Bonnell Phillips (1877-1934). Acknowledged by even his severest critics as a pathbreaking scholar, Phillips remains one of the region's most important and controversial chroniclers. This volume, which first appeared in 1990, collects twenty-three essays and excerpts from larger works published between 1913 and 1986 that evaluate his life and career from a number of perspectives.
