  • "These new critical essays on Wise Blood, Flannery O'Connor's explosive first novel, not only question our understanding of the "Southern Gothic," but launch a new inquiry into the nature and history of O'Connor's critical reputation, at a time when the construction of literary history is itself conflicted. Despite being a woman and a twentieth-century author - conditions that have traditionally proved inimical to canonization - O'Connor is now perceived as a "classic" American writer and continues to speak with striking clarity and disturbing vision to successive generations. Thus far, however, most critical interpretations of Wise Blood have been written in much the same key, focusing on the theological strength of its themes and the major character, Hazel Motes. The essays presented here break the monotony of this critical treatment by holding the novel up to the light of several new and controversial methodologies."
