"Welty’s representation of modern mass media culture in her fiction is a topic of great interest both to Welty scholars and readers, and to those interested in modernism as a cultural phenomenon. Valuable new interpretations and many new sources are featured throughout the collection. Pollack draws powerfully on how Welty’s experience with many forms of modern media transformed her sense of what literature should aspire to do." - Peter Schmidt, author of Sitting in Darkness: New South Fiction, Education, and the Rise of Jim Crow Colonialism, 1865–1920
