Take Five is sponsored by the English Department, the Connor Professorship of American Literature, the Brock Scholars Program, and the Connor Society.<\/p>\n

Dr. Margaret Kelley, regular attendee at previous Take Five programs, praised the return of the program and noted, “Take Five is and has been a wonderful gift to the community from UTC’s English faculty.\u00a0 It’s such a delight to discuss good books with other readers, and with the explosion of interest in Appalachian literature, what a timely focus for this year’s program.”<\/p>\n

Take Five was begun by Professor Emeritus Arlie Herron in 1992 and has occurred irregularly over two decades with focus on such areas as Faulkner, Edith Wharton, international fiction, Tennessee Writers, Southern writers, and Civil War fiction.<\/p>\n
