Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, and the Aesthetic of Revelation

John D. Sykes Jr.

4.9/5 (23081 ratings)

Description:According to Sykes, the fiction of Flannery O'Connor and Walker Percy provides occasions for divine revelation. He traces their work from its common roots in midcentury southern and Catholic intellectual life to show how the two adopted different theological emphases and rhetorical strategies-O'Connor building to climactic images, Percy striving for dialogue with the reader-as a means of uncovering the sacramental foundation of the created order. Through sustained readings of key texts, Sykes focuses on the intertwined themes of revelation, sacrament, and community. By disclosing how O'Connor and Percy made aesthetic choices based on their Catholicism and their belief that fiction by its very nature is revelatory, Sykes demonstrates that their work cannot be seen as merely a continuation of the historical aesthetic that dominated southern literature for so long.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
