First published in 1944, this is a detailed survey of twenty-four distinguished periodicals published in antebellum Georgia. Flanders shows that literary activity was generally confined to middle Georgia and often concentrated on themes of religion and morality, early American life, and European adventures.

More than nine hundred footnotes further elaborate on the analysis of backgrounds, local historical events, and information on contributors.
