Description: An acclaimed Southern author's soul-stirring photographs digitally scanned for the first time
Brief description: Eudora Welty (1909-2001) was author of many novels and story collections, including The Optimist's Daughter (winner of the Pulitzer Prize), Losing Battles, The Ponder Heart, The Robber Bridegroom, and A Curtain of Green and Other Stories, as well as collections of her photographic work--Photographs, Country Churchyards, and One Time, One Place: Mississippi in the Depression: A Snapshot Album, all published by University Press of Mississippi.
Review Quotes: Eudora Welty's photographs of Depression-era Mississippi reveal how the place she loved opened a door in her mind, allowing her to see the entire expanse of the Magnolia State as her literary canvas. These images are as much a part of Welty's literary legacy as her books and stories.--W. Ralph Eubanks, author of A Place Like Mississippi: A Journey Through a Real and Imagined Literary Landscape
