Southern Biography Series
Originally launched in the late 1930s, the Southern Biography Series of LSU Press has a long and venerable tradition. The first editors—Wendall Holmes Stevenson and Fred C. Cole—were succeeded in 1950 by T. Harry Williams, who edited the series for thirty years. William J. Cooper, Jr., was series editor from 1980 to 1994, when Bertram Wyatt-Brown began his tenure. After Wyatt-Brown retired in 2009, Andrew Burstein became series editor. Burstein stepped down as editor in 2019. The current in-house editor for the series is Rand Dotson.
