Contending that her writing represents the South's collective experience from the Depression to the present, he demonstrates that Welty's realistic fiction reveals an aesthetic allegiance to agrarian values. According to Gretlund, her \"sense of place\" ultimately reflects a sense of how to live. By focusing on her native place, remembering its past, identifying with it, and expressing its essence, Welty discovers and rediscovers herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Nordby Gretlund\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570031959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570031953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Jan Nordby Gretlund","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890863075583,"sku":"9781570031953","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b490c523-ae21-4a94-94c6-bc249a12195f.jpg?v=1709740246","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eudora-weltys-aesthetics-of-place-jan-nordby-gretlund-9781570031953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
