Katherine Anne Porter & the Art of Rejection

In the first book-length study of Porter's work, Nance defines a central thematic pattern--a principle of rejection--that unifies her fiction. This study is largely devoted to the explication of this theme in the individual works, though necessarily it reaches beyond this theme and into a general consideration of Porter's literary career and biography.Originally published in 1964.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
