Abstract
- The article focuses on the overlooked literary contributions of Agnes Sligh Turnbull, a writer rooted in the Alleghenies and Laurel Highlands, whose early works explored rural life in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Topics include the decline in recognition of her first three novels, her writing style being deemed outdated, and the lack of scholarly attention to her work despite its significance in regional literature.
