About the Book

From her first awkward poems and stories, to her finely crafted essays as a newspaper and feature writer, to her Florida Period highlighted by the Pulitzer Prize for ""The Yearling"" in 1939, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings became, in the words of Margaret Mitchell, America's ""born perfect storyteller."" Arguing that Rawlings has been underestimated and underappreciated as one of the great American writers, Tarr and Kinser bring together for the first time the work that contributed to her once stellar position as a hero of American letters. This collection includes Rawlings' childhood publications in the ""Washington Post"" and ""McCall's Magazine"", early stories and poems written while she was a student at the University of Wisconsin, feature articles for newspapers in Louisville, Kentucky, and Rochester, New York, and her work for the YWCA in New York City. This collection of juvenilia, college writing, newspaper pieces, and stories of life in Florida is an intimate glimpse at an important writer mastering her craft.

About the Author :
Rodger L. Tarr, University Distinguished Professor, emeritus, Illinois State University, is the editor of Short Stories of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (UPF), The Poems of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (UPF), and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings: A Descriptive Bibliography. Brent E. Kinser, assistant professor of English, Western Carolina University, is coeditor of The Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Journal of Florida Literature, a Trustee of Rawlings Society, and author of the forthcomig The American Civil War in the Shaping of British Democracy.

Review :
Rawlings emerges here as a confident, robust, and engaged writer, whose strong feelings for her neighbors, Florida's landscape and animals, and above all, the art of writing animate every page. Rawlings's probing intellect, cosmopolitan sensibility, and robust zest for life spice this cornucopia of writing of every type - letters, essays, short fictions, poetry, book reviews, parodies - a collection that, coupled with the copious and revealing footnotes, provides a veritable social and artistic history of the first half of the twentieth century. This book will greatly assist the long-overdue assessment Rawlings has always deserved as a major writer of the twentieth century. - John Wharton Lowe, Louisiana State University
