| 520 | |a "Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Thomas Wolfe (1900-38) was one of the most influential southern writers, regularly considered a rival of his contemporary William Faulkner-who believed Wolfe to be one of the greatest talents of their generation. His novels-including Look Homeward, Angel (1929), Of Time and the River (1935), and the posthumously published The Web and the Rock (1939) and You Can't Go Home Again (1940)-remain touchstones of U.S. literature. In Look Abroad, Angel, Jedidiah Evans uncovers the "global Wolfe," reconfiguring Wolfe's supposedly intractable homesickness for the American South as a form of longing that is instead indeterminate and expansive. Instead of promoting and reinforcing a narrow and cloistered formulation of the writer as merely southern or Appalachian, Evans places Wolfe in transnational contexts, examining Wolfe's impact and influence throughout Europe. In doing so, he de-territorializes the response to Wolfe's work, revealing the writer as a fundamentally global presence within American literature"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
