"In the light of Miss Welty's later acceptance and recognition as a writer of distinction, it seems of interest to review the circumstances under which her literary efforts gained for her the confidence of the publishing world, both in America and in England, noting various aspects of her success from a popular as well as from a critical point of view. In addition, it seems of value to consider the appraisal of her writings according to the criteria of professional tools used in libraries for the selection and purchase of new books with the purpose of determining to what extent the writings appear to have merit for inclusion in library collections for young and adult readers. It also seems of interest to examine the appraisals with the view of observing what position in American letters Miss Welty appears to have gained according to the critical reception of her works. This paper therefore has a three-fold purpose"--Introduction. / "August, 1955." / At head of title: Florida State University. / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 72-80).
