Despite Wisconsin's rich literary heritage, no critical study has ever been published about the state's most important writers. August Derleth's Wiscon Writers and Writing is the first reference work of its kind to discuss the writings of Hamlin Garland, Glenway Wescott, Edna Ferber, Zona Gale, March Schorer, and the lesser-known writers and poets whose books should be on everyone's reading list. August Derleth, one of Wisconsin's most important and prolific regional writers, prepared these essays in 1965 for a lecture series presented at the University of Wisconsin, where he taught classes on regional literature and writing for nearly three decades. These essays are a testament to Derleth's love for regional literature and the knowledge he absorbed during a lifetime of reading and collecting. They also reveal Derleth as a perceptive commentator who was able to combine critical, biographical and historical perspectives with spellbinding narrative. Wisconsin Writers and Writing is literary appreciation at its finest. The manuscript for Wisconsin Writers and Writing was discovered in the author's former home twenty-five years after his death in 1971 among many others long presumed missing. Also available in Hardcover $36.00 Peter Ruber, a former Derleth publisher, is currently editing an extensive series of books based on the author's unpublished manuscripts. Already published are Country Matters, Return to Sac Prairie and In a Quiet Graveyard. His introduction provides a penetrating insight to August Derleth's literary accomplishments and the years he devoted to lecturing about regional writing in his own unique style. Dr. Kenneth B. Grant, a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin/Baraboo, is writing a biography of August Derleth. His essay presents the academic view of a man who achieved considerable stature among his peers as a writer, poet, pioneer publisher of fantasy fiction, educator, literary critic and columnist.
