| Notes: | Set in rural Indiana, and using extensive Hoosier dialect, The Hoosier School-Master is based on the experiences of Eggleston’s brother. It is the tale of the inhabitants of a backwoods town and the young man who is hired to be the only teacher in the town’s school. COMMENTS — Eggleston was a circuit riding clergyman, an historian and a writer. He sought in all his works to write with “photographic exactness.” |
