J. R. LeMaster and Mary Washington Clarke have here assembled a
distinguished collection of essays on the works of Jesse Stuart. A
prolific writer, Stuart is at home in many different genres; his
poetry, his short stories, his novels, and his autobiographical
writings are widely known, and his books for children have enjoyed
great popularity. Despite the variety of his work and despite the
diversity of the ten essayists' points of view, there emerges from
this volume a consistent view of a man whose close contact with the
land and the people of his region has produced a distinctive body
of writing. H. Edward Richardson offers us a glimpse of Jesse
Stuart at home, freely and earnestly discussing his work and
relating it to the scenes about him. This essay forms a background
for the other contributors' discussions of Stuart's humor, his use
of folklore, and his persistent agrarian point of view. This, the
first collection of all new critical essays on Stuart's writings,
succeeds admirably in what criticism is supposed to do-making more
accessible the important work of a significant writer.
