The Civil Rights Era and the Myth of the Lost Rebel Yell 6. “More, More, More”: The Rebel Yell in Popular Culture Conclusion Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsBecause the [rebel] yell is a historical artifact that cannot be seen or memorialized in a statue or flag, Warren's task is difficult. Yet he takes on the mythmakers and slays them with his acute analysis. --Journal of Southern History That the yell was sometimes uttered off the battlefield is only one of many surprises in Craig A. Warren's fascinating foray into southern aural history. --The Alabama Review Warren's The Rebel Yell is a stellar book. It is a fast and interesting read and gives Civil War historians a new way to consider the yell as part of the 'long war, ' a component of the enduring struggle to reclaim and stake the boundaries of the war's memory. --Civil War News Professor Warren has written the definitive story of the fabled Rebel yell. His exhaustive research covers many sources ranging from contemporary Confederate and Union accounts of the haunting scream and its impact on both Northern and Southern soldiers to the web and popular culture of the twenty-first century. The story he tells is fascinating, thoroughly documented, well organized, and clearly presented. I can't imagine much else that could be said about this important cultural artifact of the Civil War. --W. Stuart Towns, author of Enduring Legacy: Rhetoric and Ritual of the Lost Cause This is a wide-ranging work of cultural history backed by an extraordinary amount of research over one hundred and fifty years of American history. I was astonished at how much the author found in terms of evidence, showing a combination of elbow grease and judicious use of digitized sources. The Rebel Yell is also extraordinary in its smooth and accessible writing. It represents something new--the study of a sound, and it builds on cutting-edge scholarship in the field of sensory history. --Wallace Hettle, author of Inventing Stonewall Jackson Author InformationCraig A. Warren is the author of Scars to Prove It: The Civil War Soldier and American Fiction. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
