Southern Gothic Literature, Hardcover by Ellis, Jay (EDT), ISBN 142983823X, ISBN-13 9781429838238, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This is a collection of critical readings and contextualizing essays focused on Southern Gothic literature. They are not limited to one form, but examine plays, novellas, poetry and novels. After two editorial introductions by Ellis (writing & rhetoric, U. of Colorado), the essays are organized in this series into three standard sections. There are four essays providing "critical contexts," nine "critical readings," and a resource section with a bibliography and other works on Southern Gothic Literature. Particular essay topics include Flannery O'Conner, Cormac MacCarthy's The Road and "zombies of the New South," religious fall in Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, sexuality and insanity in Tennesee Williams' Suddenly Last Summer, double murder in Toni Morrison's Beloved, and more. The contributors are mostly American professors of literature and American studies, but include a high school English teacher and a Czech translator of Cormac McCarthy.
