		Wolfe's apparent formlessness was both a constant source of delight and frustration to critics, many of whom felt that Wolfe was pioneering new literary ground, while others insisted that the overweening passion inherent in Wolfe's rambling narratives betrayed the author's immaturity and solipsism.
		Wolfe's development as a novelist was truncated by his sudden death at the age of thirty-eight, yet the progression of his novels showcases Wolfe's ever-evolving capacities as a writer.

	Overview: Thomas Wolfe visits the NW (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Thomas Wolfe, whose literary vitality and brief, nearly evanescent life has drawn us together this weekend, built his career upon the foundation of his small town, provincial roots.
		The pity is that Wolfe didn't settle in for a while to experience a smaller slice of Northwest life, forsaking the "grand tour" for a more intimate visit to provincial Portland at its floral peak, to meet the artists and writers who were his kindred souls.
		Davis, like Thomas Wolfe, had a resourceful and effusive mentality that readily led him astray; characters and situations had to be analyzed in full and with every aspect of their significance, before he could let them go.

	Daniel Barth On Paul Blake, Jr., Thomas Wolfe and Allen Ginsberg
		A thorough reading of the biographies of Wolfe, together with his letters, notebooks and published works, makes it clear that a large part of what he was after was an understanding and artistic depiction of European settlement and expansion in North America.1 In dealing with this subject matter he was inevitably led west.
		Wolfe's travels in the West and his associations with writers of the region came to play a significant role in the development of his art, a role that has been underappreciated in light of his southern roots and their memorable evocation in his writing.
		Wolfe's notes from this trip, later published as A Western Journal, reveal him as a bemused back- seat passenger, taking in as much as possible and jotting down reminders during their nightly stopovers, "the whole thing smacked down with the blinding speed and the variety of the trip" (Letters 773).

		"Wolfe’s perspective of seeing the Civil War and its aftermath from the eyes of his Tar Heel mother and his Pennsylvania father gives a special coloring and tone to his treatment of that terrible period in American history.
		Wolfe and his protagonists compare their contemporary southern landscape to visions they have conjured of its appearance before and during the war, intensely merging the past with the present.
		Finally, Wolfe’s prose style--incantatory and rhapsodic--evokes the national tragedy on an emotional level and embodies his obsession with the war.

	Lesson 6: Thomas Wolfe, Looking Inward
		Unlike James, Thomas Wolfe was a highly passionate writer who captured the emotional sides of the human experience in his novel Look Homeward, Angel.
		Thomas Wolfe built his reputation largely on his first novel, the highly autobiographical Look Homeward, Angel (1929).
		Wolfe generally changed the names of his characters and settings and thus hid the factual bases for his novel behind a disguise that is at times comically thin: Chapel Hill became Pulpit Hill, for example, and Raleigh becomes Sidney—the name of another Elizabethan poet.
