556 - How Wild Was My Village Instructor: Archibald Rutledge Dates: Apr 27, 2024 to Jan 1, 1970 Time: From 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM Materials: Available at Hampton Plantation, The Village Museum, Preservation Society of Charleston, G Class Cost: $25.00 Is Class Open? yes Description: The second CLASS Publishing reprint of Archibald Rutledge's work "How Wild Was My Village" (first published for brief circulation in 1969) has an interesting literary origin and history, which William (Billy) Baldwin (who should be the current SC poet laureate) recounts in his new Foreword to the book. The question posed to the village residents (all renamed to protect the guilty) is "what was the defining moment of your life," which some recount from beyond the grave while others from living memory. With bold illustrations by D.P. McGuire and set in free verse poetry, the tales told are filled with violence, longing, regret, fear, betrayal, redemption and love – all of the burdens of humanity, whether the stage is a metropolis or a tiny community like McClellanville.
