This item is available for media mail shipping unless otherwise arranged. The highly talented Southern writer Welty was unafraid to critically analyze the past and penned this story about the middle-aged widow Laurel struggling to make sense of inter-generational family dynamics. In her 1982 essay (published by The Southern Literary Journal) "Images of Memory in Eudora Welty s "The Optimist s Daughter," author Marilyn Arnold explained how Welty explored, in depth, social and scripted roles, and the release of the past by re-viewing it again through a critical, wiser eye: "Welty s several themes are death, human relationship, and the effects of memory on the past, but through the use of image, symbol, ritual and parable she weaves them together into one thematic whole. Death, Welty says, plunges the dead into the past by snapping the present shut, and what becomes important then is what living memory does with the past. Laurel must now ponder the nature of her parent s love; she must reconsider the brief perfection of love she and Philip Hand shared; and she must reconsider that it is not the dead but the living who, in their loneliness and uncertainty, are in danger.".
