why do you want a "laundry list"of authors???
knowing your opinions as i do, i would spend time doing research & then you would say they were inferior to someone else that you like better.
fwiw,EVERYONE here has figured out your "game". it's called, "whatever i say, absent either facts or knowledge is PERFECT. whatever you say is flawed, regardless of facts!"
in other words,, go do your own research. better yet, head over to DU to be one of the HATERS, there. take "mr. spin" with you as you dance out the door. you will NOT be missed.

I just came up with one off the top of my head and your inability to do the same shows the difficulty of coming up with one. Anti-bellum southern culture was woefully deficient compared to the North.
Believe me if I cannot come up with a respectable list of great southern authors/artists you can't.
