About the author
Born in 1850 near Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Mary Noailles Murfree wrote under the name Charles Egbert Craddock. Publishing under a male pen name helped conceal her identity at first, and her fiction began reaching a national audience when her stories appeared in The Atlantic in the late 1870s.
She became known for novels and short stories set in the mountains of Tennessee, including In the Tennessee Mountains and The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains. Readers were drawn to her detailed sense of place and her attempts to capture local dialect and customs, and she is often described as an important early writer of Appalachian literature.
Murfree died in 1922. Today she is remembered both for opening a space for Appalachian settings in American fiction and for the complicated legacy of regional writing, since some parts of her work are also discussed for the stereotypes they reflect.
