Explores a countertradition of nineteenth-century writing that challenged the definition of nation and literature that emerged after the Civil War
In a series of sketches, regionalist writers such as Alice Cary, Sarah Orne Jewett, Grace King, and Sui Sin Far critique the approach to regional subjects characteristic of local color and create a countertradition of American writing whose narrators serve as cultural interpreters for persons often considered "out of place" by urban readers. Reclaiming the ground of "close" readings for texts that have been insufficiently read, Writing Out of Place presents regionalism as a model for narrative connection between texts and readers and as a rich source of unconventional and counter-hegemonic fictions.
Judith Fetterley is Distinguished Teaching Professor and MarjoriePryse is professor of English and women's studies at the University at Albany, SUNY and co-editors of American Women Regionalists,1850-1910: A Norton Anthology.
"A brilliant, monumental, and thoroughly radical book. . . . Fetterley and Pryse succeed in locating the resistant discourse of women's writing, often in surprising places." Gregory S. Jay, author of American Literature and the Culture Wars
"Writing Out of Place is a seminal analysis of regionalism as a narrative tradition. It is sure to become the standard in the field." Sharon M. Harris, in American Literature
