History

A printing press began operating in Rogersville in 1791.[2]

In 1854 the Methodist Publishing House relocated to Nashville from Philadelphia.[3][4]

Mary Noalles Murfree (1850–1922) published under the pseudonym "Charles Egbert Craddock". Her In the Tennessee Mountains (1884) became a bestseller, featuring "stories of the Tennessee hill country".[5]

In the 1920s the Fugitives, a group of poets, was based at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Also at Vanderbilt in the 1920s-1930s were the Southern Agrarians, unofficially led by John Crowe Ransom.[6]
