| Description | It is dangerous to put labels on anything in the mountains. This collection of web pages, however, will attempt to provide the user with material that often labels the literary products coming from authors who wrote in or about western North Carolina. This material is prepared to supplement research on writers as they have experienced the geography, history, and literature of the western area of the state and have written both fiction and non-fiction. It is not intended to be comprehensive in scope, but will evolve as new material is located and determined to be of value to those interested in both mountains and writers from the western North Carolina region. | ||

"Writers and Mountains" is an extension of an exhibit created by D.H. Ramsey Library in 1982, that focused on Southern Appalachian Writers. This exhibit is both more narrow, as it seeks to address the specific mountain geography of western North Carolina and is more broad, in the sense of its historic range, from Hernando de Soto to the present. Materials for the exhibit were derived from materials held by Special Collections, or from those included in public resources. It is our intent that this exhibit will introduce users to the breadth of materials available for research in the areas of human geography, history, and literature and related to western North Carolina. The narrow focus on mountains is intended to encourage comparative analysis of writing style and content centered on a particular theme and to explore the concepts of space and time within one geographic area. |
