Thomas Wolfe Memorial
|
Thomas Wolfe (1900 - 1938), one the eloquent voices of contemporary literature. As a youth Wolfe lived in a boarding house in Asheville, which became the "Dixieland" of his classic novel, "Look Homeward, Angel."
Wolfe attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later Harvard University. After teaching Engish at the New York University, Wolf began touring Europe where he began writing about his childhood in Asheville. The result was "Look Homeward, Angel", a novel that is one of the high marks of American fiction.
The Thomas Wolfe Memorial and its original furnishings preserve the flavor of an early 20th-century house where Wolfe grew up and developed his characters.
