ESSAY ...................... by Michael O'Brien Reed sometimes flings off the occasional odd adjective, such as "candy-ass British," but this essay's English author presumes there's nothing personal about it. Perhaps these are the fellows Reed has in mind: the Python troop, from And Now for Something Completely Different, a Columbia Pictures film, courtesy of the Museum of Modern Art Film Stills Archive. am commissioned here to discuss the influence of John Shelton Reed. But on whom? On historians of the American South, like myself ? I am not sure John Reed has had any influence on historians, at least in the direct sense. Though his writing is suffused with a sense of history, there is remarkably little formal history in his work. Is it, instead, the case that his influence has lain in transmitting from his own discipline insights, theory, and technique, by which southern studies has been enriched? Has Reed brought us riches from the world of sociology, which have made us see things anew? Well, not really. Reed seems barely engaged with his own discipline, as if he does a bit of sociology now and again so that they will not revoke his citizenship and deport him
