| Description: |
Describes how four 20th-century women writers have inherited and adapted a tradition of American romance. Analyzing fiction by Faulkner and others, this work goes on to explain how women have updated the genre to include alternatives to matriarchal (as well as patriarchal) constructions. |
| Synopsis: |
This engrossing book describes how four twentieth-century women writers-Carson McCullers, Flannery O'Connor, Toni Morrison, and Grace Paley-have inherited and adapted the classical tradition of American romance fiction. Emily Miller Budick argues that romance fiction, exemplified by the works of Hawthorne, Melville, Poe, Faulkner, and Ellison, is skeptical and antipatriarchal, and that women writers have built on the tradition to accommodate the exigencies of modern American society. |
