The World of Jesse Stuart was the creation of Defiance College professor, J. R. LeMaster,
who edited an edition of Stuart’s poems covering the four decades after
the publication of Man with a Bull-Tongued Plow.
The book “reminded readers
of what they might have forgotten—that Stuart’s ‘first calling—and still his
first love—is poetry’”
(Richardson, Jesse, p. 435).
The book was nominated for the 1975
Pulitzer Prize in poetry, but was not
selected.
The Jesse Stuart Collection contains two
copies of the first edition, both
inscribed by Stuart, as well as a copy
of the uncorrected page proof edition,
also inscribed by Stuart, which was
acquired in 1977.
