Feminine Sense in Southern Memoir
Smith, Glasgow, Welty, Hellman, Porter, and Hurston
University Press of Mississippi
This study is an intertextual examination of selected self-writings by Lillian Smith, Ellen Glasgow, Eudora Welty, Lillian Hellman, Katherine Anne Porter, and Zora Neale Hurston. Here their memoirs are placed within a context of southern feminism and the more inclusive discourse of modern American liberalism.
Will Brantley is professor of English at Middle Tennessee State University. He is editor of Conversations with Pauline Kael and coeditor (with Nancy McGuire Roche) of Conversations with Edmund White, both published by University Press of Mississippi.
