Kristina K. Groover

Opis

In supporting her thesis that women fiction characters do in unique ways embody the American literary motif of spiritually questing heroes, Groover (English, Appalachian State U., North Carolina) re-visions how transformations occur within the constraints of the home as sacred space, in spiritual communities and the telling of sacred stories. Her analysis features works by Arnow, Cather, Gibbons, Huston, Jewett, Morrison, Porter, and Walker.
