Pirates of Colonial North Carolina

RANKIN, Hugh F.

North Carolina Div of Archives

An author of tremendous energy, rich imagination, and powerful rhetorical style, Thomas Wolfe was the first novelist from North Carolina to become a major force in American literature. In his famous novel Look Homeward, Angel and other works, he vividly portrayed aspects of life in the mountains of North Carolina in the early twentieth century.
This book traces Wolfe's life and career from his birth in Asheville, NC, in 1900 until his untimely death in 1938. It includes information about his parents and siblings; his patron, Aline Bernstein; his editor, Maxwell Perkins; and his agent, Elizabeth Nowell. This biography draws on Wolfe's writings and other materials about him in archival collections in Asheville, NC, and at both UNC-Chapel Hill and Harvard University. Numerous photographs of Thomas Wolfe, his family, and his associates illustrate the text.
An earlier edition of Thomas Wolfe: A Writer's Life originally was published by the Thomas Wolfe Memorial State Historic Site in Asheville. This sustantially revised edition contains new material by the author.
