| 520 | |a "In keeping with the traditional academic genre of collected essays, Sue Monk Kidd: A Collection of Critical Essays offers seven analytic studies of several of Kidd's novels, including The Invention of Wings, The Secret Life of Bees and The Book of Longings plus the film version of The Secret Life of Bees to bring expanded perspectives to her work for avid readers as well as academics. These literary essays can serve as examples for students of literature, find a place in college English classrooms as well as libraries for both secondary and higher education, and appeal to scholars of American literature. A discourse is launched here, regarding Kidd's place in postcolonialism, identity, feminism, voice, perception, spirituality and humor. Much like other notable Southern authors before her, namely William Faulkner, Kate Chopin, Tennessee Williams, Alice Walker, Carson McCullers, Flannery O'Connor, Zora Neale Hurston, and Harper Lee, Kidd's vision is more tragedy than morality play or melodrama, closer to Realism but not without Romanticism. These essays reveal how oppression, abuse, abandonment, injustice and human tragedies find their way into Kidd's novels, where they are met not with an easy or tension-free resolution, and yet, love, humor, insight, transcendence, and grit are also rendered in the face of inhumane difficulties. Sue Monk Kidd's world view is at once inclusive and expansive, transitional and transformative, heart breaking and healing, and this collection imparts that, inviting more scholarly discourse and investigation of her exceptional works"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
