尤多拉·韦尔蒂作为南方文艺复兴时期的第二代作家广泛接触了现代思想,开始用批判的眼光看待美国内战后的南方传统文化,韦尔蒂所关注的是作为南方社会最基本机构的家庭。她的作品主要通过深刻剖析家族内部关系来消解南方家族神话,从而使现代南方人摆脱传统家族价值观念的束缚而理性地面对已经发生改变的新南方。 As a second generation writer in the Southern Renaissance, Yudra Welti started to have a broad perspective on the modern thinking in a critical light and looked at the South’s traditional culture after the American Civil War. Weltie’s concern was that as the most basic institution in the South, family. Her works mainly resolve the southern family myths through profound analysis of the inter-clan relations, so that the modern southerners can rationally confront the new South that has been changed, getting rid of the shackles of traditional family values.
