Study Guide to The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

A comprehensive study guide offering in-depth explanation, essay, and test prep for Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’ The Yearling, a 1938 Pulitzer Prize winner.

As an expositional novel of the 1930s, Rawlings wrote of the Florida Crackers, wildlife, and vegetation of the region in such minute detail that readers become intimately acquainted not only with the people of the region and their customs and way of life, but with the physical and natural surroundings. Moreover, she shows in the manner of a reporter how to remain objective and detached, making no real judgment on the people.
