Drop the outmoded, misleading, and finally empty phrase "Southern Gothic" from this and other Wikipedia entries about William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and other twentieth-century Southern authors. The phrase in question originated at a time when the field of Southern literature was imperfectly understood and therefore unfairly disparaged.
