Staff Writer
USC ? Scholars from cities throughout the
world, including Bonn, Copenhagen and Oslo,
gathered for the first time in the United States to
discuss the fascinating and intriguing region
called the South.
USC's Institute for Southern Studies program
held a three-day international symposium on
Southern literature and history Monday through
Wednesday.
European scholars have created the Southern
Studies Forum to study aspects of the South.
"I think it was a tremendous success," said
Walter Edgar, director of the Institute for
Southern Studies.

In 1991, Edgar presented a paper at the
University of Bonn and was asked then by the
forum if he would be interested in holding the
next biennial conference at USC.
'The Europeans understand the importance of
regionalism and can identify with the South as
being the most clearly, well-defined American
region," Edgar said. "The South, unlike the rest
of the U.S., has been somewhat out of the mainstream,
and Europeans can identify with this."
Edgar said the Europeans view Southern culture
as being closely related to their own.
The opening session of the conference was at
Harper College on the Horseshoe. The visiting
scholars presented papers on various aspects of
the South from fictional landscape to views of
home.
