In this collection of essays, Pitavy-Souques pours new light on Welty's view of the world and her international literary import, challenging previous readings of Welty's fiction, memoir, and photographs in illuminating ways. The nine essays collected here offer scholars, critics, and avid readers a new understanding and enjoyment of Welty's work. The volume explores beloved stories in Welty's masterpiece \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Apples, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as \"A Curtain of Green,\" \"Flowers for Marjorie,\" \"Old Mr. Marblehall,\" \"A Still Moment,\" \"Livvie,\" \"Circe,\" \"Kin,\" and \u003ci\u003eThe Optimist's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOne Writer's Beginnings\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOne Time, One Place\u003c\/i\u003e. Essays include \"Technique as Myth: The Structure of \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Apples\u003c\/i\u003e\" (1979), \"A Blazing Butterfly: The Modernity of Eudora Welty\" (1987), and others written between 2000 and 2018. Together, they reveal and explain Welty's brilliance for employing the particular to discover the universal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Pitavy-Souques, who briefly lived in and often revisited the South, met with Welty several times in her Jackson, Mississippi, home. Her readings draw on the visual arts, European theorists, and styles of modernism, postmodernism, surrealism, as well as the baroque and the gothic. The included essays reflect Pitavy-Souques's European education, her sophisticated understanding of intellectual theories and artistic movements abroad, and her passion for the literary achievement of women of genius. \u003ci\u003eThe Eye That Is Language: A Transatlantic View of Eudora Welty \u003c\/i\u003ereveals the way in which Welty's narrative techniques broaden her work beyond southern myths and mysteries into a global perspective of humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dani鑞e Pitavy-Souques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496840585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496840585\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 05\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Dani鑞e Pitavy-Souques","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128106053887,"sku":"9781496840585","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad123a7b-3f60-43a6-bed6-ee2b8a4bc62f.jpg?v=1687456978","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-eye-that-is-language-danile-pitavy-souques-9781496840585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
