The Southern Renaissance was a literary movement that revitalized Southern literature in the U.S. between the 1920s and 1960s. It marked a departure from romanticized pre-Civil War narratives, introducing critical perspectives on racism, slavery, and identity within the conservative South. Prominent figures like William Faulkner and Zora Neale Hurston used innovative literary techniques to address the region's complex history and cultural evolution.
