Abstract: When I began doctoral study in English at Louisiana State University in 2003, I thought I knew a little something about Appalachian literature. I had read James Still, Lee Smith, Robert Morgan, and several other mountain writers, and I was vaguely familiar with a handful of other related sources, like Joyce Dyer’s collection, Bloodroot: Reflections on Placeby Appalachian Women Writers. Then I took a Southern literature seminar with John Lowe who, during one of our conversations about Appalachianliterature, offhandedly remarked that he really loved Harriette Simpson Arnow’s The Dollmaker. Before that day, I had never heard of Arnow orany of her works. Looking back on that conversation now, I wonder howthis was possible. (Opening paragraph)
