The World of Women Hunts Me Buchkatalog
It is rare to find a man writing perceptively about Eudora Welty's links with feminism:she herself did not want to be too directly associated with any such "movement", but many female critics have appropriated her as an early feminist, and her novels are widely read and studied as if they were part of a feminist agenda rather than, as Dr Habeeb, shows us, as part of an ongoing and rich tradition of writing which happens to be by women. Where other male critics have looked at Welty's southern-ness, her spiritual journeys, her microcosms, Dr Habeeb tackles more complex issues and tropes-Welty's metaphors, her use of masculine discourse, her playing with dreams and such-like magic. He places her rightly in a southern tradition, but he daringly takes that tradition back to writers from far outside the American south.This is a major contribution to studies of Eudora Welty's fiction, but more than that it also claims a place in writing about feminism and women's fiction which transcends gender studies and roles, as Welty herself would surely have wished.John McRae, Special Professor of Language in Literature, University of Nottingham, England.
