Book Review: Nonfiction, Memoir, or Fiction?: Dissecting the Works of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Robynne Elizabeth Miller

 

In 2017, Robynnne Elizabeth Miller, author of From the Mouth of Ma: A Search for Caroline Quiner Ingalls, released a book based on a paper she wrote during her MFA program at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio. That book, Nonfiction, Memoir, or Fiction?: Dissecting the Works of Laura Ingalls Wilder, explores how the late author crossed these genres in the writing of the Little House books, and why she might have done so. 

In this engaging and informative resource, Miller discussed the importance of genre, how Wilder wrote nonfiction, memoir, and fiction alongside each other in her famous children's series, and how Wilder defined her books as "true stories about her childhood," which her correspondence and modern technology would later allow us to see is not fully accurate. 

Miller's belief is that while Little House in the Big Woods reflected on the life of one family, as the series progressed, the larger story of "America's pioneer movement" took over, and Wilder's purpose changed as she went along. 

If you like all things Laura Ingalls Wilder, enjoy exploring academic studies, or simply want a short piece of work on how one writer views the writing of a famous author, Nonfiction, Memoir, or Fiction? is an excellent choice.
