Abstract
"The New Regionalism," an essay by Lowry Charles Wimberly, appeared in the summer 1932 issue of Prairie Schooner, already well known as a midwestern literary magazine. Wimberly, an English professor at the University of Nebraska, had been the magazine's editor since its 1927 founding (and would continue in the post until 1956). As editor and teacher, he unfailingly encouraged potential writers to "leave trace of themselves" and their region by using local materials. 1
