Sharon Talley, professor of English at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, USA, is the author of Ambrose Bierce and the Dance of Death and Student Companion to Herman Melville. Her articles have appeared in American Imago, Journal of Men’s Studies, and Nineteenth-Century Prose.
"This work presents a groundbreaking close reading and
contextualization of seventeen novels by fifteen southern women
writers. Talley's analysis of specific works weave historical,
biographical,
sociological, and reception material into the close reading of
plot, theme, political stance, and intended effect, offering, then,
literary history of a highly complex and contentious
subject--the
Southern response to the Civil War and its after-effects." --Mary
E. Papke, author of "Verging on the Abyss: The Social Fiction of
Kate Chopin and Edith Wharton"
