Many twentieth-century writers
were born in Mississippi or have spent an important part of their
lives in the state. Some of these Mississippi writers are world
famous while others are up-and-coming authors with a first novel
that is getting much attention. Others are poets, short story
writers, dramatists, essayists, or writers of historical novels
or memoirs. Many have had movies made based on their work. All have
contributed to the literary and diverse cultural heritage of Mississippi.
This web site provides information about these writers originally
researched by the students of Starkville High School in Starkville,
Mississippi, and now updated reqularly by other researchers. Information
is also available at left for Mississippi musicians, Mississippi
artists, and Mississippi actors.
