Critical Perspectives on Eudora Welty

Critical Perspectives on Eudora Welty seeks to celebrate and preserve the legacy of Eudora Welty through scholarship and to explore new issues in Welty studies. These fresh approaches reinforce the continued relevancy of Welty’s work to such contemporary topics as popular culture; social justice; and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. The series, composed of both monographs and edited collections, is a worthy commemoration to and celebration of one of the South’s greatest treasures. As the leading publisher in Welty studies, University Press of Mississippi is pleased to enrich discussions of Welty’s oeuvre by providing framework and guidance for her readership for years to come.
