ESSAY ON: Katherine Anne Porter/Relations Between Generations

Number of Pages 12

This research paper: A 12 page essay, which discusses the work of Katherine Anne Porter, an American writer from the first half of the twentieth century who is primarily famous for her finely crafted short stories. While Porter's short fictional works stand alone as self-contained narratives, the characters she creates tend to appear in multiple stories, forming, collectively, a cohesive story line. This feature is evident in four short stories that outline the relationship which a particular grandmother, Sophia Jane Rhea, has with her grandchildren, one of which is Miranda, who recurs throughout many of Porters stories. The relations between the generations that these stories portray is one in which the generation of the Old South, that is adults who were products of antebellum Southern society, still rule. However, Porter pictures how the "Old Order," as she refers to it is passing. Bibliography lists 1 source.
