American Catholic Historical Society

Spring Lecture 

We may now regard Flannery O’Connor as a great American Catholic author, but this was not always the case.  How were her books received upon their first publication?  What factors, besides her talent, led to O’Connor’s current status?  And what does O’Connor’s story suggest about the nature of literary reputations?
