Nineteenth-Century Southern Women Writers

Grace King and Modernism

Herausgeber: Heidari, Melissa; Zaugg, Brigitte

Beschreibung

Melissa Walker Heidari's introduction offers a review of scholarship on King's fiction and a discussion of King's awareness of her place in literary movements; she examines selections from King's journals as views into her journey toward a modernist aesthetic - what King describes in one passage as "the continual voyage I made."
