About This Item
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1955. First edition, second issue. Hardcover. A very good copy in a very good dust jacket. With 5 copyright dates on the copyright page. Collection of short stories by Eudora Welty. The seven stories, focused largely on female characters, elaborate upon tenuous relationships of the heart in a difficult world and upon the importance of place; they share a more experimental, allusive style than the rest of her work. The stories are: No Place for You, My Love - The Burning - The Bride of the Innisfallen - Ladies in Spring - Circe - Kin, and Going to Naples. 207 pages.
Synopsis
This collection combines stories set in Welty's special province, the rural South, with stories having a European locale. This gives a wider range to her fiction and demonstrates the remarkable talent of one of the finest short-story writers of our time. "Humorous, piquant, graceful" (Louis D. Rubin, Jr., Sewanee Review).
