Southern Clerics and the Passing of Lee: Mythic Rhetoric and the Construction of a Sacred Symbol.
Fulmer, Hal W.
Southern Communication Journal, v55 n4 p355-71 Sum 1990
Examines the symbolic content of eulogies delivered by Southern clergymen following the 1870 death of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Explores the clergy's discussions of Lee's immortality and the redemptive power of audience unity which were foundations for later mythic discourse on the general's life. (SG)
