His novels--including \u003ci\u003eLook Homeward, Angel \u003c\/i\u003e(1929); \u003ci\u003eOf Time and the River \u003c\/i\u003e(1935); and the posthumously published \u003ci\u003eThe Web and the Rock \u003c\/i\u003e(1939) and \u003ci\u003eYou Can't Go Home Again \u003c\/i\u003e(1940)--remain touchstones of U.S. literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLook Abroad, Angel\u003c\/i\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 nd 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jedidiah Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820381314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820381312\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 10\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jedidiah Evans","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001189245183,"sku":"9780820381312","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/look-abroad-angel-jedidiah-evans-9780820381312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
