About this book

This illustrated edition of The Complete Works of Thomas Wolfe brings together, in one monumental volume, the life's work of one of America's most passionate and lyrical voices. Wolfe's novels, beginning with Look Homeward, Angel(1929) and followed by the towering Of Time and the River (1935), map the restless journey of a writer who sought to capture the immensity of experience in language that surges with vitality. Later works such as The Web and the Rock(1939) and You Can't Go Home Again (1940) deepen his exploration of memory, belonging, and exile, while The Hills Beyond (1941) testifies to his unrelenting creative force even in the face of early death. Together, these novels form a sweeping portrait of individual longing set against the vast backdrop of twentieth-century America. Beyond his major novels, this collection embraces Wolfe's shorter fiction and dramatic works, offering insight into the breadth of his imagination. From Death to Morning (1935) and the stories gathered in The Hills Beyond (1941) showcase his gift for condensed intensity, while his plays—ranging from the early Deferred Payment (1919) to the ambitious Mannerhouse (1948) and The Mountains (1970)—reveal a dramatist wrestling with form, voice, and stagecraft. These pieces demonstrate Wolfe's versatility, moving fluidly between the lyrical expansiveness of prose and the structural discipline of theatre. Completing the volume are Wolfe's collected poems, where his voice takes on a more intimate, reflective cadence. These verses highlight the same themes—time, loss, memory, and the inexhaustible desire for transcendence—that run through his fiction, distilled into concentrated lyric form. With illustrations that echo the grandeur and intensity of his vision, this edition serves both as an introduction for new readers and as a definitive compendium for admirers, ensuring that Thomas Wolfe's enduring legacy continues to inspire and resonate.
