Abstract:
In 1916, Thomas Wolfe joined the Dialectic Literary Society at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Although often late or absent from meetings, his work in oration can be seen in the rhetoric he employed in his novels. Although Wolfe remained a member throughout his college career, he became more involved in the campus newspaper during his senior year, and his literary society activities suffered.

Abstract:
The account that Thomas Wolfe's mother gave him of a Mitchell county triple murder served as his inspiration for his short story, \"The Web of Earth,\" which was published in a volume of his collected pieces titled FROM DEATH TO MORNING. The triple slaying that Wolfe used as the basis for this story occurred in 1885 at the Miller-Horton mica mine just off present State Highway 226, approximately four miles north of Spruce Pine. Wolfe's mother also related her involvement in the case to her son, specifically her having given shoes to the escaped convicts that had been convicted of the killings and jailed in Asheville.

Abstract:
This is a reprint of a paper presented at the 52nd annual session of the State Literary and Historical Association in Raleigh, December, 1952. This essay looks at the dispute between resentful forces of the Asheville community and author and Asheville native Thomas Wolfe over his first novel \"Look Homeward, Angel\" and its representation of the town. Wolfe maintained that the piece was fiction and that while he wanted to give life to Asheville, the town in which the novel is set, he did not include or characterize actual or specific citizens of the town. The people of Asheville, however, took Wolfe's portrayal of the town and its people as a criticism and an offense, and claimed that certain townspeople were characterized and identifiable. Further details of the conflict as well as direct statements from the author and reprints of critical reviews are included.
