Delta Wedding : um lugar de janelas abertas sobre os horizontes do devir

Abstract

The authors's reading of Eudora Welty and her «Delta Wedding» leads to the conclusion that this writer has been giving us her own understanding of the South: a place linked to its past, without, however, being bound by it; on the contrary it is a place with windows opened onto the horizons of becoming. Welty thus appears as a prophetess who sees the South as a kind of heir whose heritage goes beyond its geographic boundaries.
