The first chronological overview of O'Connor criticism from the
publication of her first novel, Wise Blood, in 1952 to the present.
Flannery O'Connor is one of the most widely read, discussed, and
taught of all American authors. She is immensely popular with
students, general readers, and literary critics. Her work, often
characterized as "Southern Gothic," betrays in its focus on
morality her devout Roman Catholic faith even as it displays a
wicked sense of humor. She has been the subject of numerous
articles and books, and indeed an entire journal devoted to her
writings has existedfor decades. There is not, however, any
chronological overview of the history of O'Connor criticism. The
present volume fills that very conspicuous gap. It is the sort of
book that practically every college and university library,as well
as many public libraries, will need to own, and it will appeal not
only to scholars and students but to non-academic readers of
O'Connor, whose numbers are legion. A particular value of the book
is that it synthesizes criticism and commentary that is now only
available in individual essays that are widely scattered. Robert C.
Evans is Professor of English at Auburn University Montgomery.
Among his many books is Critical Insights: ShortFiction of Flannery
O'Connor (2016).
