Reviews
"This volume makes a fresh and significant addition to our understanding of Flannery O'Connor's intellectual and religious devel- opment and to our understanding of the literary and theological context of her fiction." --Albert Gelpi, William Robertson Coe Professor of American Liteature, Emeritus, Stanford University, "Revelation and Convergence: Flannery O'Connor and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition combs the stacks of O'Connor's library to help us better understand O'Connor's ongoing Conversation with the Catholic theological and literary heritage (9). It is an indispensable guide to what the editors call the writer's intellectual life of faith (3) and will interest scholars of O'Connor and Catholic fiction."--Daniel Moran, Rutgers University, American Catholic Studies
Synopsis
Did Flannery O'Connor really write the way she did because and--not in spite of--her Catholicism? Revelation & Convergence brings together professors of literature, theology, and history to help both critics and readers better understand O'Connor's religious imagination. The contributors focus on many of the Catholic thinkers central to O'Connor's creative development, especially those that O'Connor mentioned in the recently discovered and published A Prayer Journal (2013), or in her many letters to friends and admirers. Some, such as Leon Bloy or Baron von H gel, remain relatively obscure to contemporary readers. Other figures, such as Augustine of Hippo or St. John of the Cross, are well-known, but their connection to O'Connor's stories has received little attention. Revelation & Convergence provides a much-needed hermeneutical lens that is often missing from contemporary criticism, representing O'Connor's ongoing conversation with her Catholic theological and literary heritage, and provide a glimpse into the rich Catholic texture of her life and work., Did Flannery O'Connor really write the way she did because and - not in spite of - her Catholicism?
