Summary: Social History and Folklife Studies of Virginia
Comment: During the 1930s, writers and photographers who needed employment documented local history and culture for guides to their states. Some of these WPA guides remain fascinating reading even today. A great deal of the material, however, was never published. This book comes out of the WPA materials that were collected for the state of Virginia. The book consists of photographs and excerpts from interviews along with introductory comments by the editors. There are various themes that are presented, and the editors develop commentary to interpret what they present. The photography is first rate, and there are a lot of interesting stories in this book that are well worth reading. The book also has an archival quality which will make it a valuable resource for historians as well as for folklorists completing contemporary studies of Virginia folklife.
