{"product_id":"flannery-oconnor-and-cold-war-jon-lance-bacon-9780521619806","title":"Flannery O'Connor and Cold War Culture","description":"This book reconsiders Flannery O'Connor, known primarily for her Catholicism. By recovering the historical circumstances in which Flannery O'Connor wrote her fiction, Jon Lance Bacon reveals an artist concerned with the cultural effects of the conflict that dominated American political discourse after 1945: the Cold War. O'Connor resisted the consensus that demanded uncritical celebration of American life - including consumerism. Bacon relates her fiction to political texts, sociological studies, advertisements, movies, television programmes, paintings, editorial cartoons and comic books. This interdisciplinary approach transforms O'Connor from a regional writer, with a religious message that transcends social and political questions, into a national figure, with a secure place in literary histories that address such questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Lance Bacon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521619807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521619806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Jon Lance Bacon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896431632639,"sku":"9780521619806","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d278b504-09c5-4c4d-bd3f-15ef883cbfb8.jpg?v=1721371386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flannery-oconnor-and-cold-war-jon-lance-bacon-9780521619806","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
