Although her importance as a twentieth-century southern writer is unquestionable, mainstream feminist criticism has generally neglected O'Connor's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Revising Flannery O'Connor, Katherine Hemple Prown addresses the conflicts O'Connor experienced as a \"southern lady\" and professional author. Placing gender at the center of her analytical framework, Prown considers the reasons for feminist critical neglect of the writer and traces the cultural origins of the complicated aesthetic that informs O'Connor's fiction, both published and unpublished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO'Connor's relationship with her mentor Caroline Gordon, and its eventual disintegration, played a significant role in her development. As Prown shows, it underlines the shift from the relatively \"feminine\" authorial voice of O'Connor's earliest drafts toward the decidedly masculinized tone of her final, published works. Incorporating an insightful examination of the author in relation to the Fugitive\/Agrarian and New Critical movements, Prown provides an original exploration of O'Connor's changing gender perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Hemple Prown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813920124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813920122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.27w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2001 pg. 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 246","brand":"Katherine Hemple Prown","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44254740775167,"sku":"9780813920122","price":43.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e0ce822-1bd5-4676-8de0-1183241f80f9.jpg?v=1694614107","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/revising-flannery-oconnor-katherine-hemple-prown-9780813920122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
