Research Resources

My research paper is going to be on the way that morality is depicted in characters of different social classes and ethnicities in both author's works. I logged onto the CU Libraries website and was dissapointed to find that there were not many entries that showed up when I combined "race" with "Katherine Anne Porter" or "Flannery O'Connor" but when I went to the library to collect the books that I had found I was surprised by the incredible amount of critical materials in the Norlin stacks. I believe that my second search was very successful, here are some of the things I found:

Scott, Neil R. Flannery O'Connor: An Annotated Reference Guide to Criticism. Milledgeville, Georgia: Timberlane Books, 2002
Gretland, Jan Nordby and Karl-Heinz Westarp. Flannery O'Connor's Radical Reality. Columbia, South Carolina: University of South Carolina Press, 2006
Machann, Clinton and William Bedford Clark. Katherine Anne Porter and Texas: An Uneasy Relationship. College Station, Texas: Texas A&M University Press,1990
Friedman, Melvin J. and Beverly Lyon Clark. Critical Essays on Flannery O'connor. Boston, Massachusetts: G. K. Hall & Co.,1985
Hartley, Lodwick and George Core. Katherine Anne Porter: A Critical Symposium. Athens, Georgia: University of Georgia Press, 1969
Hilt, Kathryn and Ruth M. Alvarez. Katherine Anne Porter: An Annotated Bibliography. New York, New York: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1990

I think these annotated bibliographies will be a great springboard into finding more critical materials on both writers so I will return them ASAP.
