Too often Eudora Welty is known to the general public as Miss
Welty, a "perfect lady" who wrote affectionate portraits of her
home region. Yet recent scholarship has amply demonstrated a richer
complexity. Welty was an innovative artist with cosmopolitan
sensibilities and progressive politics, a woman who maintained
close friendships with artists and intellectuals throughout the
world, a writer as unafraid to experiment as she was to level her
pen at the worst human foibles. The essays collected in Teaching
the Works of Eudora Welty seek to move Welty beyond a discussion of
region and reflect new scholarship that remaps her work onto a
larger canvas. The book offers ways to help twenty-first-century
readers navigate Welty's challenging and intricate narratives. It
provides answers to questions many teachers will have: Why should I
study a writer who documents white privilege? Why should I give
this "regional" writer space on an already crowded syllabus? Why
should I teach Welty if I do not study the South? How can I help my
students make sense of her modernist narratives? How can Welty's
texts help me teach my students about literary theory, about gender
and disability, about cultures and societies with which my students
are unfamiliar?
