Thornton identifies two kinds of metafictions in Welty's works that testify to the author's confidence in the power of that particular form of fiction to achieve the results she desires. The first deals with literary issues such as language, fiction, readership, and authorship as they are embodied in the particular fiction. The other addresses the social subtexts, which carry the author's social message, or observations, buried beneath the surface story for the reader to excavate. By taking up major works from different stages of Welty's literary career, Thornton reveals the subtexts and, therefore, the author's ideas about the literary and social role of her own fiction.The postmodernist idea that all literary texts are inherently self-reflexive derives from the assumption that a text consists of the surface story and various buried subtexts. Through one or more of those subtexts, the work is considered to be speaking in the author's behalf about itself, or about the fiction or literature of which it is an example.

By taking up major works from different stages of Welty's literary career, Thornton reveals the subtexts and, therefore, the author's ideas about the literary and social role of her own fiction.Through a careful examination of the subtexts found in Welty's fiction, the author challenges the notion that Welty was the apolitical, asocial writer that many have thought her to be. Instead, this book reveals how many of the political messages about society, and about different aspects of literature, have been camouflaged by the surface stories that mask Welty's ideas about the social and institutional immorality and unhappiness of the real world. Broken into four parts, Thornton draws on the theories of Bakhtin, Barthes, Bourdieu, Derrida, and Macherey in order to place Welty, and her work, in a new position in the history of American literature.

As this subtle title suggests, in Courting Felicity, the reader is invited to read more into the action and romance offered in this historical novel by Isabel Huff, her second novel, than the first impression might offer. The preface of local history and historical photos circa 1914, affords the setting as the fiction story unrolls to an earlier time; steamships ply the Kootenai River, railroads are built and loggers, homesteaders and tycoon developers put down roots in this hospitable valley of far Northern Idaho. This setting is the author's home where she lives with her husband of 48 years in a log house built by the original homesteaders some 90 years ago; the house where he grew up. Retired cattle ranchers and farmers, they still garden, raise blueberries and maintain their home. The cover photo taken by the author is of the first cabin built on the homestead but now serves as a boat house for their kayaks. Isabel Huff's protagonist, Hank Phillips, is a God fearing young blacksmith with a deep love of the horses he oversees. He files on a one hundred sixty acre homestead of raw land and timber, and dreams of a big house and a fine cattle ranch, instead of living in the crowded bunk house at the lumber camp where he works. His elation is dashed almost immediately by a very unjust firing from his job and he is forced to live in a rude camp he quickly builds on his new land. But by hard-work and resourcefulness Hank soon acquires a new job, and friends and neighbors who respect him. He also gains the affections of a beautiful young school teacher, Felicity Logan, who he hopes will share his dreams. But a young bachelor of this stature doesn't go un-noticed, not by, Janey Cumberland, who's embrace of the west leaves Hank shaking his head. The author's colorful parade of characters include strong ambitious women, an unscrupulous imposter, a gutsy old teamster, a band of Kootenai Indians; who lived here first, and others who find shelter and promise in the Kootenai Valley . They make for a fun and memorable reading experience.

ALL SHE WANTS IS HER OWN HOME Miss Felicity Chambers is the new teacher of piano and deportment at Miss Manville's Academy for Superior Girls. There is no reason a duke should contact her.
