A study linking the novels of Eudora Welty to a tradition of Southern romance writers. Beginning with the Civil War diarists, the author isolates and defines the components of the Southern romance, tracing Welty's adaptation of each component within the novels themselves and revealing a twofold importance: it connects the literature of the Civil War diarists to the work of Eudora Welty in a meaningful way while illuminating her work in the light of a Southern Romance tradition.

Editorial Reviews

Review

...perhaps the best reading of Eudora Welty's fiction to the literature of southern criticism. It is perceptive, intelligent, convincing and elegantly written. It will take its place as one of the leading commentaries on Eudora Welty's novels.>>>> (Jack Ludwig )
