Names, places, occurrences, and characters are either a product of the authors imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

Show moreAll the Place You’ve Got is a collection of short stories inspired by and set in the author’s hometown of Warner Robins; Georgia. This is a work of fiction. Names, places, occurrences, and characters are either a product of the authors imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental. The title is a partial quote of dialogue stated by Hazel Motes, the protagonist of Flannery O’Connor’s first novel Wise Blood. The full quote reads, “In yourself right now is all the place you’ve got.” This collection of stories was built as a direct antithetical response to O’Connor’s representation of dialogic salvation and visions of the divine, a central concern, stemming from dedicated Catholic belief, of her body of work.

LILLIAN HELLMAN'S PORTRAYAL OF THE SOUTH
Title
LILLIAN HELLMAN'S PORTRAYAL OF THE SOUTH.
Creator
COFER, AGNES J. ORTIZ., Florida Atlantic University, Coyle, William
Abstract/Description
Lillian Hellman uses the Reconstructed South as an emblem of the social and personal evils which result from a society based on a system of unconscionable capitalism. In her plays The Little Foxes and Another Part of the Forest she traces the rise of industrialism in the emergence of the "New South." The erosion of the aristocratic ideal of the Old South is exemplified by the characters in The Autumn Garden and Toys in the Attic who lack the will to act and live obsessed with the past. In...
Show moreLillian Hellman uses the Reconstructed South as an emblem of the social and personal evils which result from a society based on a system of unconscionable capitalism. In her plays The Little Foxes and Another Part of the Forest she traces the rise of industrialism in the emergence of the "New South." The erosion of the aristocratic ideal of the Old South is exemplified by the characters in The Autumn Garden and Toys in the Attic who lack the will to act and live obsessed with the past. In order to fully appreciate her Southern plays it is necessary to recognize the fact that they are a composite of Southern myth and history and the author's own instinctive feelings about her native region. To classify these aspects and to correlate them with historical facts enhances the under standing of these works by placing them within a cultural framework.

Classifying the South: Library of Congress Subject Headings and their Impact upon United States Southern Literature.
Creator
McWilliam, Fiona M., Hagood, Taylor, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Classifying any body of literature is a difficult process, and for United States southern literature, the difficulty of classification and the resounding implications are amplified because of the difficulty in defining what "southern" is. On-going critical discussion of the South has explored these issues, thus far, scholarly discourse on southern literature and the problems of classification has been limited to the realm of the theoretical. The primary focus of this study, however, is to...
Show moreClassifying any body of literature is a difficult process, and for United States southern literature, the difficulty of classification and the resounding implications are amplified because of the difficulty in defining what "southern" is. On-going critical discussion of the South has explored these issues, thus far, scholarly discourse on southern literature and the problems of classification has been limited to the realm of the theoretical. The primary focus of this study, however, is to consider practical implications of this problem by evaluating the way subject headings implemented by the Library of Congress not only classify, but also influence and shape southern literature. Considering how southern literature is defined by these subject headings may prove to be a useful tool, aiding the in the current reevaluation of the South and its literature, and shedding light on how constructed borders affect users, as well as the literature itself.

Silence and sympathy: Race in the early short fiction of William Faulkner
Title
Silence and sympathy: Race in the early short fiction of William Faulkner.
Creator
Gifford, Sheryl C., Florida Atlantic University, Blakemore, Steven
Abstract/Description
Much critical debate has surrounded William Faulkner's treatment of race relations in the South; indeed, it is difficult to believe that a white Southern male could transcend the psychosocial realities that led to racial divisions in the post-Civil War South. However, Faulkner, as the "well-endowed" Aristotelian poet, was able to involve himself in the emotions he sought to imitate, and thus was able to transcend racial issues in the compact fictive space he established. Intent upon mastering...
Show moreMuch critical debate has surrounded William Faulkner's treatment of race relations in the South; indeed, it is difficult to believe that a white Southern male could transcend the psychosocial realities that led to racial divisions in the post-Civil War South. However, Faulkner, as the "well-endowed" Aristotelian poet, was able to involve himself in the emotions he sought to imitate, and thus was able to transcend racial issues in the compact fictive space he established. Intent upon mastering the intricacies of the short story, Faulkner, the self-admitted "failed poet," utilizes this genre to construct a subtle yet powerful critique of hypocritical racial divisions common in the postbellum South. The silences and subversive sympathies that abound in such short stories as "Dry September" and "That Evening Sun" are caught up within the confines of this fictive space, provoking the reader to resolve the discrepancies that purposefully exist.
