Proving Contraries A Collection of Writings in Honor of Eugene England

Influential in the New Mormon Literature movement of the last century, Eugene England (1933-2001) was a popular, respected BYU professor; author and editor of several works of poetry, fiction, and personal essays; and co-founder of the quarterly journal Dialogue. One of his best known traits was his ability to examine issues from all sides--including people of divergent views in conversation. His favorite saying was "By proving contraries, the truth is made manifest." In honor of Gene's memory, friends and colleagues have contributed their best original stories, poems, reminiscences, scholarly articles, and essays toward an impressive Festschrift that would have made their colleague and mentor proud. Contributors include Lavina Fielding Anderson ("Joseph Smith's Sisters"), Mary Bradford ("Suddenly Single"), Armand Mauss ("Feelings, Faith, and Folkways"), Frances Menlove ("Foot Care"), Carol Lynn Pearson ("My Homeless Man"), Levi Peterson ("Woodlot in the Wasatch"), Bruce Jorgensen ("North Temple Viaduct"), and nine others.Rees, Robert A. is the author of 'Proving Contraries A Collection of Writings in Honor of Eugene England', published 2005 under ISBN 9781560851905 and ISBN 1560851902.
