- Summary
- "His essays in Faulkner and "Welty and the Southern Literary Tradition maintain an abiding interest in Polk's major area of literary study: the relationship between the smaller units of construction of a literary work and the work's larger themes. The analysis of this interplay between commas and dashes, curious occlusions, passages, and characters who have often gone unnoticed in the critical discourse-the bricks and mortar, as it were-and a work's grand design is a crucial aspect of Polk's scholarship." "Faulkner and Welty and the Southern Literary Tradition collects Polk's essays from the late 1970s to 2005. Featuring an introduction that places Faulkner and Welty at the center of the South's literary heritage, the volume asks useful, probing questions about southern literature and provides insightful analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
