Title
The Corpse in the Stone Wall : Annie Proulx's Ironic New England
Description
Essay describing Annie Proulx's critical treatment of New England - in particular, Vermont - in her works of fiction, "Postcards" and "Heart Songs." Tenuous and tenacious relationships of characters to their rural New England landscapes at once idyllic and ruinous. The failures of fictional New England locals and tourists alike, and the "cultural politics" that pit outside economic influence and quaint projections of regional identity against the provincial knowledge afforded in home spaces and local tradition. Comparisons of Proulx's "New England fiction" to her later works set in and about Wyoming.
