Growing Up with Jack in Haywood County: The Backgrounds and Development of Donald Davis’s Storytelling

Record #:
35966
Abstract:
By extending his familial oral narratives to the contemporary revival scent of folktales, Donald Davis made himself a creative artist that moved outside the boundaries of folk traditions. In order to portray the tales that he told, it was necessary to set them in the context of Davis’s family background, personal experiences, and storytelling practices.
