His novels-- including \u003cem\u003eLook Homeward, Angel \u003c\/em\u003e(1929); \u003cem\u003eOf Time and the River \u003c\/em\u003e(1935); and the posthumously published \u003cem\u003eThe Web and the Rock \u003c\/em\u003e(1939) and \u003cem\u003eYou Can't Go Home Again \u003c\/em\u003e(1940)--remain touchstones of U.S. literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLook Abroad, Angel\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jedidiah Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820356468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820356464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Jedidiah Evans","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926519152895,"sku":"9780820356464","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c791a412-0f6e-4388-8b5f-f395b8567f7f.jpg?v=1681083512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/look-abroad-angel-jedidiah-evans-9780820356464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
