The Myth of New Orleans in Literature: Dialogues of Race and Gender Hardcover - 1993
by Violet Harrington Bryan
From the rear cover
Many writers have appropriated the rich and varied rituals, attitudes, ceremonies, and language of New Orleans for various literary purposes. The culture can be read in the texts of George Washington Cable, Grace King, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Marcus Christian, Tennessee Williams, Tom Dent, and Brenda Marie Osbey. The idea of New Orleans as courtesan as well as the realization of the interdependence of the races in the city's music, art, architecture, religious worship, and community performance become legend in their works. Violet Bryan examines these literary appropriations and shows how writers from 1880 to the present have variously reflected a culture that registers complex patterns of race, gender, and class. Bryan examines the implicit and explicit connections between writers and their texts that compose the literary culture of New Orleans.
