Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this study, Ruth D. Weston probes the whole of Eudora Weltys work to reveal the writers close relationship to the gothic tradition. Speci?cally, Weston shows how Welty employs the theme of enclosure and escape and settings that convey a sense of mysterygothic adaptations bothto create certain narrative techniques in her ?ction.Differentiating at the outset between the Gothic genre as opposed to elements of the gothic tradition, and acknowledging both critics and Weltys own reluctance to link her writing with the former, Weston plunges in and brilliantly discloses the relationship Weltys writing has to both, and in doing so describes a rich literary heritage to which Welty belongs. She shows how the tradition of adapting European Gothic conventions to American settings has come down to us through writers such as Hawthorne, particularly through the short story, and continues in Weltys ?ction.Among Weltys narrative techniques that Weston discusses are plot structures built around betrayal and captivity, reversal of characters gender roles, a tone sometimes similar to that of gothic genres such as the fairy tale or ghost story, and affective settings in gothic spaces such as the woods along the Natchez Trace. These techniques, Weston explains, help Welty in illustrating restrictions placed on the individuals search for selfhood by human relationships, cultural expectations, and memory.In addition to examining the texts themselves, Weston draws on Weltys critical and theoretical writings and her letters and other materials in archival collections. She also gleans insights from the work of contemporary narrative theorists, feminist critics, and recent commentators on the Gothic. In the course of her presentation, she offers some excellent new assessments of Weltys relation to the female Gothic and the Southern Gothic and to William Faulkner and Jane Austen.This book is one of the most informed studies to date of Weltys relation to the literary mainstream of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Welty scholars as well as general readers of American and southern literature will gain a deep appreciation for Weltys imaginative and original response to the Gothic literary tradition.
