"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's 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. The Uncollected Writings of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings -- juvenilia, college writing, newspaper pieces, and stories of life in Florida -- is an intimate glimpse at an important writer mastering her craft."--Jacket.

Rawlings (1896–1953), best known for her 1939 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Yearling, wrote extensively throughout most of her life. Nearly all the material in this volume, which spans from her teenage years to the end of her life, appears for the first time since its original publication. Editors Tarr (English, emeritus, Illinois State Univ.) and Kinser (English, Western Carolina Univ.) have met their goal of providing "a record of a remarkable intellectual journey." Reading through the material chronologically allows one to experience the blooming and sharpening of a writer's voice. Most interesting are the vibrant columns from the "newspaper years" of 1918–28, when Rawlings wrote profiles on pioneering professional women, among them a state bacteriologist, a chief probation officer, an x-ray specialist, and a fire underwriter. Some readers may question the worth of certain pieces, such as college editorials on sorority life and juvenile poetry, yet these writings are arguably necessary for presenting a complete picture of Rawlings's development. Recommended for all libraries with American literature and women's studies collections.
