Description

Description
The material in this book has a long and interesting history. It all began back in 1964 when Fr. John J. Quinn, S.J., moderator of the new University of Scranton literary journal called Esprit, learned that Flannery O'Connor, the American essayist and short story writer, had died after a lingering illness. Since he was enthusiastic about her and her work, he hit upon the idea of dedicating an issue of Esprit in her memory. So he set about contacting...

Description
"This book offers essays by leading scholars who have advanced the codification of O'Connor as a writer preoccupied with religious, and especially Catholic, theories. In counterbalance, the collection presents voices of sharp dissent. These scholars find themselves at odds with O'Connor's own interpretations and with much of the existing scholarship concerning her work." "The promise of such a diverse collection rests in the dialogues between and...

The editors tried to present a sustained, coherent estimation of Flannery O'Connor's work, from her earliest story, "The Geranium, " through the posthumous volume, Everything That Rises Must Converge. It attempts...

Description
This volume provides an examination of Flannery O'Connor's use of religious themes such as original sin, redemption, and the incarnation in her writing. It details O'Connor's vision of the secular world as the shadow or revelation of spiritual truth.
