| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 127-131) and index Since the 1970s, a time when perceptions about women began to change radically, a growing number of women writers have expressed their most deeply felt ideas through humor. In Comic Visions, Female Voices, Barbara Bennett shows how humor tests boundaries and pushes limits, doubly so for women, and that writing combined with laughter is virtually a revolutionary act for women. This study examines the intricate role humor plays in contemporary southern novels by such writers as Anne Tyler, Lee Smith, Alice Walker, Doris Betts, Gail Godwin, Ellen Gilchrist, Bobbie Ann Mason, and Kaye Gibbons. Bennett theorizes that humor helps define voice, communicate theme, and, in essence, establish a new kind of southern literature with a tone that is often more optimistic and less guilt ridden than that of fiction written by men or by earlier women writers. Most southern female humor has a distinct voice and vision - iconoclastic yet ultimately unifying, challenging traditional relationships yet finally affirming both self and family Introduction: Southern laughter and the woman writer -- "De maiden language": voice and identity -- Communion of laughter: healing and unifying comedy -- Crossing boundaries: scatological and black humor -- Unbuckling the Bible Belt: religious and sexual satire -- Hand inside the velvet glove: confronting stereotypes |

Louisiana State University Press ©1998 1 Online-Ressource (xiii, 135 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Southern literary studies Includes bibliographical references (pages 127-131) and index Since the 1970s, a time when perceptions about women began to change radically, a growing number of women writers have expressed their most deeply felt ideas through humor. In Comic Visions, Female Voices, Barbara Bennett shows how humor tests boundaries and pushes limits, doubly so for women, and that writing combined with laughter is virtually a revolutionary act for women. This study examines the intricate role humor plays in contemporary southern novels by such writers as Anne Tyler, Lee Smith, Alice Walker, Doris Betts, Gail Godwin, Ellen Gilchrist, Bobbie Ann Mason, and Kaye Gibbons. Bennett theorizes that humor helps define voice, communicate theme, and, in essence, establish a new kind of southern literature with a tone that is often more optimistic and less guilt ridden than that of fiction written by men or by earlier women writers. Most southern female humor has a distinct voice and vision - iconoclastic yet ultimately unifying, challenging traditional relationships yet finally affirming both self and family Introduction: Southern laughter and the woman writer -- "De maiden language": voice and identity -- Communion of laughter: healing and unifying comedy -- Crossing boundaries: scatological and black humor -- Unbuckling the Bible Belt: religious and sexual satire -- Hand inside the velvet glove: confronting stereotypes 1900 - 1999 fast Geschichte 1900-2000 LITERARY CRITICISM / American / General bisacsh American fiction fast American fiction / Women authors fast American wit and humor fast American wit and humor / Women authors fast Comic, The, in literature fast Humorous stories, American fast Literature fast Women and literature fast Vrouwelijke auteurs gtt Humor gtt Geschichte Literatur Schriftstellerin Humorous stories, American Southern States History and criticism American wit and humor Southern States History and criticism American wit and humor Women authors History and criticism Women and literature Southern States History 20th century American fiction Women authors History and criticism American fiction 20th century History and criticism Comic, The, in literature Humoristische Prosa (DE-588)4259505-8 gnd rswk-swf Frauenerzählung (DE-588)4249646-9 gnd rswk-swf Humoreske (DE-588)4160797-1 gnd rswk-swf Frauenliteratur (DE-588)4113622-6 gnd rswk-swf Frauenroman (DE-588)4134195-8 gnd rswk-swf Komik (DE-588)4031835-7 gnd rswk-swf USA Südstaaten (DE-588)4078674-2 gnd rswk-swf USA Südstaaten (DE-588)4078674-2 g Frauenroman (DE-588)4134195-8 s Humoristische Prosa (DE-588)4259505-8 s 1\p DE-604 Frauenliteratur (DE-588)4113622-6 s Komik (DE-588)4031835-7 s 2\p DE-604 Humoreske (DE-588)4160797-1 s Frauenerzählung (DE-588)4249646-9 s 3\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=45662 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
