As Andrew Lytle noted, southern fiction has been written “in a time of disorder” that has its origin in a post-Enlightenment privileging of unconstrained individualism and personal freedom. In a Time of Disorder examines the ways in which southern writers, including Twain, Faulkner, Wright, and Welty, have struggled to wrest form and meaning from a historical world increasingly perceived as purposeless, disordered, and corrupt.
