'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.
With Edward, he was a turn-of-the-century Chicagoan; with Rosalie, she was a Depression-era New Yorker, and so on.
While the historical frameworks for these characters were alluded to and made instrumental in shaping the characters, some of the finer details about the various eras associated with them were not elucidated in the story.
According to The Mountain Times, a historian and fellow Twilight fan has taken up the task of matching up the history of these characters with their written qualities.
The chapters she authored on Emmett and Jasper, two of the Cullen vampire clan at the heart of the novels, focus on the historical context surrounding the characters. While Jasper, a Confederate soldier before he "changed" fueled her Civil War passion, of particular relevance to this area is her research regarding Emmett, a vampire "changed" in Gatlinburg in 1935.
"I wrote about him, what his life would have been like growing up ... how he both fulfilled and doesn't fulfill a lot of the stereotypes people have about mountain people," she said.
Emmett is particularly interesting because his change happened around the time when mainstream media picked up on the hillbilly stereotype that Appalachia has been trying to shake for generations.
