About this title

Synopsis

Novelist, short-story writer, and photographer, Eudora Welty has come to typify the Southern writer. Many of her works focus on interpersonal relationships, and they acutely capture the dialect and feel of her Mississippi roots. Among her best-known works are the short stories “Why I Live at the P.O.” (inspiration for the software email program, EudoraŽ) and “The Petrified Man.” Her novel The Optimist's Daughter won the Pulitzer Prize in 1973. This freshly revised edition in Bloom's Modern Critical Views provides new perspective on this beloved American writer. Key critical analyses and solid study features combine to form a platform especially helpful for compare-and-contrast papers on Welty s work.

Review

"The accounts offer students an opportunity to absorb serious analytical styles."

..."excellent critical guide sets edited by Harold Bloom...recommended picks for audiences of young adults studying literature."

"A publishing venture almost without precedent both in its scope and in the fact that it is guided by a single critical intelligence."

"This collection of previously published essays, edited by the distinguished literary scholar Harold Bloom, is an excellent addition to the Wells critical canon."

"Harold Bloom adds some fantastic critical literary guides, providing interpretations and issues that should reach a wide audience from adults to young adults at the high school and college levels."
