..."this impressive collection of essays provides an important,
though too long neglected, part of American literary history. This
book effectively gives Appalachian literature the serious attention
it deserves." ----Sandra L. Ballard, editor of Appalachian Journal
and Listen Here: Women Writing in Appalachia ****An American Vein:
Critical Readings in Appalachian Literature is an anthology of
literary criticism of Appalachian novelists, poets, and
playwrights. The book reprises critical writing of influential
authors such as Joyce Carol Oates, Cratis Williams, and Jim Wayne
Miller. It introduces new writing by Rodger Cunningham, Elizabeth
Engelhardt, and others. Many writers from the mountains have found
success and acclaim outside the region, but the region itself as a
thriving center of literary creativity has not been widely
appreciated. The editors of An American Vein have remedied this,
producing the first general collection of Appalachian literary
criticism. This book is a resource for those who teach and read
Appalachian literature. What's more, it holds the promise of
introducing new readers, nationally and internationally, to
Appalachian literature and its relevance to our times. ****ABOUT
