Emma Bell Miles

4.9/5 (31783 ratings)

Description:Many books about the mountains have been written by those who came, observed, and left to resume their lives elsewhere. Emma Bell Miles, however, had two advantages that most of the writers lacked: her familiarity with the region that lent insight and subtlety to her analysis; and a consciously dual perspective on her own life and the lives of mountain people gave her writing a generous scope and fine balance. First published in 1905, The Spirit of the Mountains remains one of the few books about Appalachia that neither romanticizes nor condescends not depends on the unconscious acceptance of middle-class, mainstream American values for its analysis.Although Miles lived on Walden's Ridge in the southern Cumberlands with her husband and family, her work as a writer and painter involved her with the wealthy society people of Chattanooga and she was a perceptive observer of the complex interplay between mountain life and life elsewhere. Her feelings about both were ambivalent; however, her intelligence, integrity, and honesty made her acutely conscious of the strengths and weaknesses as well as the coherence and contradictions of both mountain people and those of the city. This intimate awareness of the cultural and social fabric of mountain life reveals itself in the book's skillful and realistic portrayal of the music, religion, traditions, and lore of the mountains.Publisher: New York, J.
