One of the first book-length considerations of the Appalachian writer Robert Morgan. One of the first book-length studies of Robert Morgan, Community across Time considers the Appalachian writer's explorations of memory, family history, and landscape. It provides a study of all of Morgan's fiction to date, as well as a chapter on his poetry and some reference, where appropriate, to his nonfiction. Rebecca Godwin examines the family history that informs much of this body of work, offering an extended biographical essay that ties characters and plot details to Morgan's ancestors' lives and to his own experiences growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Religious rifts, economic hardships, class conflicts, the place of women and Indigenous peoples, and the failure of humans to recognize the divinity of the natural world are among the motifs centering Morgan's writing. Community across Time explores those themes as it looks to Morgan's relationship to the Appalachian South.
