1926. American poet and novelist, Roberts is best known for her novels and stories of the Kentucky mountain people, whose dialect and customs she realistically portrayed. The Time of Man begins: Ellen wrote her name in the air with her finger, Ellen Chesser, leaning forward and writing on the horizontal plane. Beside her in the wagon her mother huddled under an old shawl to keep herself from the damp, complaining, We ought to be a-goen on. If I had all the money there is in the world, Ellen said, slowly, I'd go along in a big red wagon and I wouldn't care if it taken twenty horses to pull it along. Such a wagon as would never break down. She wrote her name again in the horizontal of the air. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Review:
"This is a book that embraces life . . . . [I]t is written in a prose at once lucid and arresting, rhythmical, fresh in phrasing and construction, giving always the effect of effortless arrangement."―New York Times
"One of the most authentic and moving depictions of a woman's identity and experience I have ever read. . . . I felt the same shock of recognition and revelation upon reading The Time of Man that I did when I read Their Eyes Were Watching God."―Appalachian Journal
"Originally published in 1926, this re-released epic novel of Americana is now considered a classic."―Kentucky Living
"Original, powerful, and, without ever verging upon sentimentality, tender."―Saturday Review of Literature
