【正确答案】正确答案：It was the re-invigoration of American Southern literature that began in the 1920s and 1930s. The southern Renaissance changed the traditional southern literature with its three major themes; The first was the burden of history in a place where many people still remembered slavery, reconstruction, and a devastating military defeat. The second theme was to focus on the South"s conservative culture, specifically on how an individual could exist without losing a sense of identity. The final theme that the renaissance writers approached was the South"s troubled history in regards to racial issues. The representative writer is William Faulkner with his A Rose for Emily.
