Martin, Karl Edward. "The Ethical Implications of Flannery O'Connor's "Prophetic Imagination," University of Minnesota, January 1991. Advisor: David W. Noble (2, 12, 16)
In her essay “The Grotesque in southern Fiction,” Flannery O’Connor argues that a novelist’s vision must be a prophetic vision. this thesis explores the ethical implications of O’Connor’s prophetic vision displayed in her two novels and two collections of short stories and concludes that O’Connor did function as a prophet as defined by Walter Brueggemann in The Prophetic Imagination. Evidence for the thesis was found in O’Connor’s fiction, in the book reviews she wrote for a Catholic paper in Georgia, and in the annotated books from her private library now housed in the Georgia College library.
