Memory believes before knowing remembers. Sunday, August 26, 2012. Michael Kreyling- Inventing Southern Literature (1998).

However, because I'm focusing on exam writing, this summary is not up to my usual standards of summaries- I just wanted primarily to get the significant quotes recorded. In his discussion of the Agrarians and t...

Memory believes before knowing remembers. Saturday, August 17, 2013. Lucy Furman- The Quare Women: A Story of the Kentucky Mountains (1923). It felt almost like cheating to read such a straight-ahead narrative as the novel from 1923. Part of the experience was simply the aesthetic experience of reading such a beautiful book:.

This novel was recommended by a lovely person I met at the Dickens Universe this summer, after she learned about my dissertation topic. I had to get it through Inter-Library Loan- though now that I've read it, I'm quite surprised that I haven't heard more about it. What a fantastic read! We roll our hair and we wear lip gloss” (66).
