Books in the The New Southern Studies Series series

Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938) was one of the most influential southern writers. 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.

Assesses how fiction published since 1980 has resituated the US South globally and how earlier twentieth-century writing already had done so in ways traditional southern literary studies tended to ignore.
