Dances with Wolfes: The Postwar Legacy, Transpacific Impact, and Martian Resurrection of Thomas Wolfe -- Conclusion 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. 600 10 $a Wolfe, Thomas, $d 1900-1938 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Wolfe, Thomas, $d 1900-1938 $x Influence. 600 10 $a Wolfe, Thomas, $d 1900-1938 $x Appreciation $z Germany. 650 0 $a Homesickness in literature. 650 0 $a Desire in literature. 651 0 $a Southern States $x In literature. 600 17 $a Wolfe, Thomas, $d 1900-1938. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00035317 830 0 $a New southern studies 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603014230.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=704B167674A711EA8EBE956E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
