Dhuibhne; Works Cited; Index 330 $aFocusing on the lineage and traditions of pivotal African American and Irish women writers, Jacqueline Fulmer traces the line of descent from Mary Lavin to E?ili?s Ni? Dhuibhne and from Zora Neale Hurston to Toni Morrison. She argues that these authors adopt strategies of indirection influenced by folklore, such as signifying, masking, sly civility, and the grotesque. Their magical and magisterial folk women characters entice readers toward controversial subjects. 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aLiterature and folklore 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory 606 $aStereotypes (Social psychology) in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature and folklore. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory. 615 0$aStereotypes (Social psychology) in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a813/.54 700 $aFulmer$b Jacqueline$f1965-$0878499 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458110503321 996 $aFolk women and indirection in Morrison, Ni?
