| Sommario/riassunto: | In her life, Porter increasingly played a highly feminized public role as southern lady, but in her writing she continued to engage changing representations of female identity and sexuality. Titus examines the tensions and ambivalence inscribed in Porter's fiction, as well as the vocational anxiety and gender performance of her actual life. |
