Thomas Wolfe and Lost Children in Southern Literature

Thomas Wolfe and Lost Children in Southern Literature

Paula Gallant Eckard

University of Tennessee Press
2016
sidottu
First published in 1937, Thomas Wolfe’s The Lost Boy gives name to the theme of lost children that has permeated much of southern literature and provides a template for telling their stories. In Thomas Wolfe and Lost Children in Southern Literature, which grew out of many years of teaching The Lost Boy and other works of southern literature, Paula Gallant Eckard uses Wolfe’s novel as a starting point to trace thematic connections among contemporary southern novels that are comparably evocative in their treatment of lostness. Eckard explores six authors and their works: Fred Chappell’s I Am One of You Forever, Mark Powell’s Prodigals, Kaye Gibbons’s Ellen Foster, Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees, Bobbie Anne Mason’s In Country, Robert Olmstead’s Coal Black Horse, and Lee Smith’s On Agate Hill. Though each novel is unique and a product of its own time period, all the novels explored here are cast against the backdrop of the South during eras of conflict and change. Like The Lost Boy, these novels reflect a sense of history, a sense of loss associated with that history, and an innate love of story and narrative, as well as representations of work that historically have defined the lives of individuals and families throughout the South. In its artistic treatment of lostness, The Lost Boy creates a significant literary legacy. As Eckard demonstrates, that legacy continues in the form of these six contemporary authors who, in writing about the South, perpetuate Wolfe’s efforts as they also create or find the lost child in new ways.

Manager as Muse: Maxwell Perkins' Work with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Thomas Wolfe

"My goodness, Miss Donnelly, Maxwell Perkins was one of the worst businessmen who ever lived." Interview with Charles Scribner, Jr., Chairman of Scribner's, 1980.One of the many legends surrounding Scribner's editor, Maxwell Perkins (1884-1947) is that he was a terrible businessman. If so, how did he manage to get such classic work out of such volatile creative personalities as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Wolfe, among others? And, how did so many of his authors contribute to Scribner's financial success over the decades?Starting with the excellent biography, Max Perkins, Editor of Genius, by A. Scott Berg, Dr. Kathleen Dixon Donnelly combined information from numerous sources, including several collections of letters, to determine what management skills Perkins used to motivate these three larger than life characters. Based on her thesis for her MBA at Duquesne University in her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this version of Manager as Muse focuses on developing guidelines which today's managers of creative people can use in working with writers, artists, performers-any of those in the creative industries. The principles of management remain the same. What did Perkins do to keep these novelists writing? How much did he push? How much did he keep hands off? Through a detailed analysis of the relationships between Perkins and his three most well-known authors, Manager as Muse gives you insights in to how best to work with the creative people you manage to motivate them to achieve success.
