The Emperor of Ice Cream Visits Eudora Welty: The Uses of the Creative Imagination
| Content Provider | University of North Texas |

| Author | Kobler, Sheila Frazier |
| Description | Eudora Welty and Wallace Stevens share important aesthetic beliefs, especially regarding uses of the creative imagination by artists in acts of creation and characters in acts of living. A close reading of seventeen of Welty's stories, accompanied by references to related ideas in many of Stevens' poems, reveals how the imagination functions as epistemology and eucharist, while governing the shape of individual human views of the quotidian. The more abstract patterns of thought in their later works seem to move Welty closer to belief in a world beyond the quotidian than they do Stevens. |
