She argues that Smith has made an important contribution to Southern literature, in her consistent focus on the Southerner's post-Civil War self-conflict, and to contemporary literature in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTANYA LONG BENNETT is a professor of English at the University of North Georgia, where she has taught for thirteen years.
