Understanding Eudora Welty provides close readings of Welty's
novels and short stories and the memoir One Writer's Beginnings.
Michael Kreyling sifts through contemporary reviews and recent
criticism in arriving at his assessment. Noting that Welty's work
has been before the public and in the minds of literary critics for
nearly a half century, he suggests that understanding the critical
history of her canon is almost as important as understanding the
works themselves. Kreyling describes the New Critics' explanation
of Welty's fiction, which was based on their preference for the
unity of meaning in a well-made work of art. Kreyling also traces
the mounting interest of feminist critics in Welty's work after the
publication in 1984 of One Writer's Beginnings. He credits feminist
critics with providing some of the most refreshing appraisals of
her writings in more than a generation. As he considers the many
assessments and reassessments of Welty's work, Kreyling uncovers
and discusses the myriad identities that critics have attached to
her--that of southern writer, southern gothicist, "Southern
Renaissance" writer, modernist, and feminist. Questioning the
sufficiency of any single label, Kreyling suggests that Welty never
wrote to a formula and never wrote the same story twice. Kreyling
maps the dynamic growth Welty exhibited in the depth and complexity
of her vision and literary technique over the course of her career.
