Product Information

In conferring upon Mississippi native Elizabeth Spencer (1921-2019) the 2013 Rea Award for the Short Story, the jury said that at the then age of ninety-two, she "has thrived at the height of her powers to a degree that is unparalleled in modern letters." Over a celebrated six-decade career, Spencer published every type of literary fiction: novels and short stories, a memoir, and a play. Like her best-known work, The Light in the Piazza , most of her narratives explore the inner lives of restless, searching southern women. Yet one mercurial male character, Edward Glenn, deserves attention for the way he insists on returning to her pages. Speaking of Edward in unusually personal terms, Spencer admitted a strong attraction to his type: the elusive, intelligent southern man, "maybe an unresolved part of my psyche." In The Edward Tales , Sally Greene brings together the four narratives in which Edward figures: the play For Lease or Sale (1989) and three short stories, "The Runaways" (1994), "Master of Shongalo" (1996), and "Return Trip" (2009). The collection allows readers to observe Spencer's evolving style while offering glimpses of the moral reasoning that lies at the heart of all her work. Greene's critical introduction helpfully places these narratives within the context of Spencer's entire body of writing. The Edward Tales confirms Spencer's place as one of our most beloved and accomplished writers.

Reviews
The stories Elizabeth Spencer wrote about Edward Glenn are among the finest of her late works. In each story Edward stands off-center, a bit mysterious--he's not the main character in any of them but he does make things happen, and the links between them will make any reader curious. The gaps and ellipses gesture toward another story that lies just off the page, leaving us wanting., Reading this fine, newly collected work of the great Elizabeth Spencer only makes me wish there were more of these little masterpieces to look forward to., Considering her writing attracted some of the nation's finest publishers, numerous literary awards and fellowships, and extensive scholarly attention over six decades, it may be preposterous to suggest that Spencer is insufficiently revered in her home state and region. And yet I cannot help but believe that she is edged out of certain literary conversations by the achievements of Miss Welty, among others. That being said, The Edward Tales earnes Elizabeth Spencer another space on the crowded shelf., In these understated stories, Elizabeth Spencer reveals characters in moments of persuading; sometimes, they, themselves, must change. Pointing to ordinary yet vivid detail, she animates characters to operate in near pantomime while remaining alert to language. What she invokes is handled with extreme care: a character's gentle expression, a reference to an unstated rule, half-phrases and hand gestures, or having the characters question whether a word or phrase really conveys their intentions. Hearing is so important in a Spencer story, yet so is our sense of sight: our eye follows the direction of the invisible world's scaffolding beneath the social surface.
