Förlagets beskrivning
Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Thomas Wolfe (19001938) was one of the most influential southern writers, widely considered to rival his contemporary, William Faulknerwho 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 Cant Go Home Again (1940)remain touchstones of U.S. literature.In Look Abroad, Angel, Jedidiah Evans uncovers the "e;global Wolfe, "e; reconfiguring Wolfes 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 Wolfes impact and influence throughout Europe. In doing so, he de-territorializes the response to Wolfes work, revealing the writer as a fundamentally global presence within American literature
