Book Description

0791051269 978-0791051269 February 1999
According to Bloom, Eudora Welty was both a master storyteller and a superb prose-poet, combining populist and elitist elements in her art. Here, numerous critical works are offered on her short stories, including "Death of a Traveling Salesman," "Why I Live at the P.O.," "The Wide Net," and "No Place for You, My Love."

This title also features a biography of Eudora Welty, a user guide, a detailed thematic analysis of each short story, a list of characters in each story, a complete bibliography of Welty’s works, an index of themes and ideas, and editor’s notes and introduction by Harold Bloom.

This series, Bloom’s Major Short Story Writers, is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School; preeminent literary critic of our time. The world’s most prominent writers of short stories are covered in one series with expert analysis by Bloom and other critics. These titles contain a wealth of information on the writers and short stories that are most commonly read in high schools, colleges, and universities.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up-An examination of four of Welty's short stories: "Death of a Traveling Salesman," "Why I Live at the P.O.," "The Wide Net," and "No Place for You, My Love." For each, a summary is followed by an annotated list of characters and extracts from five or six authoritative critical sources analyzing different aspects of the story or the author's themes. The book begins with a two-page biography of Welty and concludes with lists of works by and about her as well as a helpful "Index of Themes and Ideas."-Kathleen A. Nester, Downingtown High Ninth Grade Center, PA

2.0 out of 5 stars Careless Scholarship, February 12, 2001
This review is from: Eudora Welty (Bloom's Major Short Story Writers) (Library Binding)
The idea for this collection of excerpts is commendable, as an introduction to Welty for, perhaps, high school students; but a hardback at this price is too costly for that purpose, and the scholarship is too flawed for any use. Even a quick glance reveals (1) outdated information about the Welty scholars quoted and (2) errors in the bibliography. Ruth VandeKieft (not "Kieft") is deceased, Pollack is not at Sweetbriar, Prenshaw is no longer at Southern Mississippi, nor I at Oral Roberts University. Barbara Fialkowski did not write A Still Moment but, rather, one essay in it. This collection of excerpts looks as if it were put together quickly not by Bloom, who should know better, but by someone who does not know Welty or Welty criticism. Although my own book, excerpted in the text, is not listed in "Books About Welty," ten that are listed are general works I consulted but that are not themselves about Welty at all (including Frank, Kestner, Frye, Kayser, Fleenor, Gilligan, Weisenfarth). If the editor had consulted the excerpted authors, this could have been a better book.

2.0 out of 5 stars I Did Not Review THIS Book, February 19, 2001
I reviewed Bloom's 1999 Research Guide on Welty, not this 1986 Critical Views on Welty.
