Summary:

"From Davy Crockert's frontier tales and the Agrarians regionalism, to the BillBoard Top 100 hits, the Grand Old Opry, and Goo-Goo Clusters, images of Nashville are known around the world. Yet her true character can only be fully appreciated through the fiction, memoir, poetry, and journalism that the city has inspired. In Literary Nashville the city speaks in all its accents - from the twang of rockabilly to the well-bred tones of Belle Meade society - finally telling its story in full from its frontier past to its postmodern present."--BOOK JACKET.
