Wilhelm and Vernon argue that studying Rash is important because he encourages readers and critics alike to understand Appalachia in all its complexity and he consistently provides portrayals of the region that reveal both the beauty of its cultures and landscapes as well as the social and environmental pathologies that it continues to face. The landscapes, peoples, and cultures that emerge in Rash's work represent and respond to not only Appalachia or the South, but also to national and global cultures. Firmly rooted in the mountain South, Rash's artistic vision weaves the truths of the human condition and the perils of the human heart in a poetic language that speaks deeply to us all. Through these essays, offering a range of critical and theoretical approaches that examine important aspects of Rash's work, Wilhelm and Vernon create a foundation for the future of Rash studies. 600 10 $a Rash, Ron, $d 1953- $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Novelists, American $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Novelists, American $z South Carolina. 650 0 $a Authors, American $z South Carolina. 700 1 $a Wilhelm, Randall, $e editor. 700 1 $a Vernon, Zackary, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502012248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=44789BE24DCE11E89F5D1D5C97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
