Years ago, I watched a Shelby Foote interview in which he illustrated the difference between the antebellum societies of the North and South by reference to what they were typically reading at the time. As I recall, Southerners were said to be reading some romantic, heroic, novel about chivalry, while Northerners were reading some hard hitting contemporary social criticism of political significance. I can't remember if it something that Foote originated, or if he was quoting someone else.
