Textbooks You Can Love
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I purchased this book, along with Colume 1 (Conflict and Change) for an Appalachian Literature class. The textbooks were useful for the class assignments, but also full of stories and poetry that I can enjoy long after the class is finished! Authors familiar and new fill the pages, as well as characters I felt like I already knew. An excellent choice for anyone with even an inkling of an interest in the Appalachian region and those who record it through their amazing poetry and prose!
A Great Collection of Appalachian Writing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Appalachia Inside Out is a collection of some of the finest writing produced by Appalachian writers about Appalachia. The volume is divided into thematic units such as Roots, Exploration, and Settlement, Heroes and Demigods, and Nature and Progress. The reader will find a find collection of essays, short stories, and poems carefully chosen to present the region accurately and honestly. Together volumes 1 and 2 of this work give scholars and general readers alike a full range of readings about Appalachia. As a graduate student, I found this book a fascinating introduction to the study of Appalachian writers and writing, and as a teacher of Southern Appalachian Literature, I consider this book invaluable. I highly recommend Appalachia Inside Out to anyone wishing to read and learn more about Appalachia.
