Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938) was one
of the most influential southern writers, widely considered to
rival his contemporary, William Faulkner who believed Wolfe to be
one of the greatest talents of their generation. His novels
including Look Homeward, Angel (1929);Of Time and the River (1935);
and the posthumously published The Web and the Rock (1939) and You
Can't Go Home Again (1940) remain touchstones of U.S. literature.
In Look Abroad, Angel, 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.
