In Writing out of Place, Judith Fetterley and Marjorie Pryse explore a countertradition of nineteenth-century writing previously ignored by American literary history that challenged the definition of nation and literature that emerged after the Civil War.Regionalist writers such as Alice Cary, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Sarah Orne Jewett, Grace King, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Sui Sin Far, and Mary Austin present narrators who serve as cultural interpreters for persons often considered "out of place" by urban readers. Critiquing the approaches to regional subjects characteristic of local color, this book gives readers a vantage point from which to approach regions and regional people in the global economy of our own time. Reclaiming the ground of "close" reading for texts that have been insufficiently read, Fetterley and Pryse situate textual analyses within larger questions such as the ideology of form, feminist standpoint theory, queer theory, intersections of race and class, and narrative empathy.In its combination of the critical and the visionary, Writing out of Place proposes regionalism as a model for narrative connection between texts and readers that has the potential to transform American literary culture. Arguing the need for other models for human development than those produced in heroic stories about men and boys, the authors offer regionalism as a source of unconventional and counterhegemonic fictions that should be passed on to future generations of readers.

"The most consistently rewarding of the recent anthologies focusing on Afro-American women's writing... " ââ¬âModern Fiction Studies"... successfully [exposes] the core of Black women's writing and confidently [places] it within the American literary tradition." ââ¬âBelles LettresBlack women have been writing and publishing fiction for more than a century, yet little is known of their literary history, their influence on each other, or the significance of their work to the American literary tradition. All the contributors implicitly address the question of how this recovered tradition reshapes our understanding of American literature.
