The thirteen diverse voices in \u003ci\u003eNew Essays on Eudora Welty, Class, and Race \u003c\/i\u003edeepen, reflect on, and respond to those seminal discussions. These essays freshly consider such topics as Welty's uses of African American signifying in her short stories and her attention to public street performances interacting with Jim Crow rules in her unpublished photographs. Contributors discuss her adaptations of gothic plots, haunted houses, Civil War stories, and film noir. And they frame Welty's work with such subjects as Bob Dylan's songwriting, the idea and history of the orphan in America, and standup comedy. They compare her handling of whiteness and race to other works by such contemporary writers as William Faulkner, Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Chester Himes, and Alice Walker. Discussions of race and class here also bring her masterwork \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Apples\u003c\/i\u003e and her novel \u003ci\u003eLosing Battles\u003c\/i\u003e, underrepresented in earlier conversations, into new focus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Moreover, as a group these essays provide insight into Welty as an innovative craftswoman and modernist technician, busily altering literary form with her frequent, pointed makeovers of familiar story patterns, plots, and genres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harriet Pollack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496826140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496826145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020","brand":"Harriet Pollack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124134605055,"sku":"9781496826145","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_526594ee-1914-4c72-a9a0-f63c84bdb16d.jpg?v=1687434949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-essays-on-eudora-welty-harriet-pollack-9781496826145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
