Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. This Day and Time: A Critical Edition. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Considered by many scholars to be the first novel to realistically depict the Appalachian region and its people, Anne Armstrong's This Day and Time (1930) follows a resilient young woman named Ivy, deserted by her husband and raising a young son in the mountains after having tried working factory jobs in town. With lyrical descriptions of the landscape and careful, if archaic, use of dialect, Armstrong explores both timeless and contemporaneous themes, including the impact of industrialization, the deep connection between mountaineers and their land, the roles and victimization of women, and the cycle of life through the changing seasons. Agrarian critic Donald Davidson called it "as true a novel of the mountains as has been written." For this new edition of Armstrong's work, editor Linda Behrend has written a critical introduction that discusses these literary themes and other components of the text,including biographical information, an analysis of Armstrong's style and technique, and connections to other literary works of the time. An extensive bibliography includes archival and primary sources, book reviews from This Day and Time's original appearance in 1930, reviews of stage adaptations of the book, and sources that shed light on its unique linguistic style. Almost a century after This Day and Time was first published, this edition offers both an engaging narrative and an insightful study for a new generation of readers.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Anne Wetzell Armstrong adored her adopted hometown. Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, she moved with her family to the "West End" (Fort Sanders) area of Knoxville, Tennessee, in the 1880s, a pivotal decade for a city just getting past the trauma of the Civil War and becoming an economically diverse and culturally cosmopolitan center. Author of The Seas of God (1915), set in a thinly disguised Knoxville (called "Kingsville"), Armstrong was privileged, unconventional, and modern. She was divorced (she later married an Armstrong of Knoxville's Bleak House), a single mother, and workednot only as a teacher at Knoxville Girls High School but also in personnel with National City Company of New York and in industrial relations at Eastman Kodak. Her second novel, This Day and Time (1930), is regarded as the first fictional work to treat Appalachia realistically.Journalist John Gunther's 1946 description of Knoxville as the "ugliest city I ever saw in America" served as the impetus for Armstrong to pen a memoir of a city she remembered quite differently. Sophisticated and witty, Of Time and Knoxville provides lively, sometimes scandalous sketches of such well-known Knoxville figures as Lizzie Crozier French, Armstrong's mentor and a leader in the woman's suffrage movement; Perez Dickinson, businessman and owner of the socially popular Island Home farm (and cousin of Emily Dickinson); and Mary Boyce Temple, clubwoman, philanthropist, and socialite, whose home is preserved as the last extant single-family residence in downtown Knoxville. Complemented by Linda Behrend's excellent introduction and meticulous annotations, this distinctive memoir also delivers an unusual picture of Knoxville's beloved Market Square and vividly depicts fin de siEcle Knoxville, with its great food at hotel restaurants and lively events at dance halls. Armstrong also details the tragic Flat Creek train wreck of 1889, which seriously injured her own father and led to his death five years later. Of Time and Knoxville is a must-read for lovers of Knoxville, Victorian America, women's history, and memoir.
