"Elizabeth Madox Roberts was that rare thing, a true artist. But how many artists have even a shadow of a masterpiece. . .? And how few have left the sense of literature on almost every page. She was one of the indispensables."--Robert Penn Warren
Elizabeth Madox Roberts (1881-1941) was born in Kentucky and was a lifelong student of its history. She published her first book, a collection of poetry, in 1915. This was soon followed by short stories, more poetry, and several novels, most of which examine the experience of the Kentucky pioneer.
