Bertram Wyatt-Brown. Hearts of Darkness: Wellsprings of a Southern Literary Tradition. (The Walter Lynwood Fleming Lectures in Southern History.) Baton Rouge: Louisiana State Lectures in Southern History.) Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press. 2003. Pp. xxvi, 235. Cloth $59.95, paper $24.95.

In recent years, Bertram Wyatt-Brown has turned increasingly to southern literature (especially works by the Percy family but those of other writers as well), and he has focused in particular on depression and melancholy in southern writers.
