In "Sacred Groves and Ravaged Gardens," Louise Westling explores
how the complex, difficult roles of women in southern culture
shaped the literary worlds of Eudora Welty, Carson McCullers, and
Flannery O'Connor. Tracing the cultural heritage of the South,
Westling shows how southern women reacted to the violent, false
world created by their men--a world in which women came to be
shrouded as icons of purity in atonement for the sins of men.
Exposing the actual conditions of women's lives, creating assertive
protagonists who resist or revise conventional roles, and exploring
rich matriarchal traditions and connections to symbolic landscapes
Welty, McCullers, and O'Connor created a body of fiction that
enriches and complements the patriarchal version of southern life
presented in the works of William Faulkner, John Crowe Ransom,
Allen Tate, and William Styron.
