The prevalent idea remains that Welty simply took snapshots before she found her true calling as a renowned fiction writer. But who was Welty as a photographer? What did she see? How and why did she photograph? And what did Welty know about modern photography? In \u003ci\u003eExposing Mississippi: Eudora Welty's Photographic Reflections\u003c\/i\u003e, Annette Trefzer elucidates Welty's photographic vision and answers these questions by exploring her photographic archive and writings on photography. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The photographs Welty took in the 1930s and '40s frame her visual response to the cultural landscapes of the segregated South during the Depression. The photobook \u003ci\u003eOne Time, One Place\u003c\/i\u003e, which was selected, curated, and shaped into a visual narrative by Welty herself, serves as a starting point and guide for the chapters on her spatial hermeneutic. The book is divided into sections by locations and offers how the framing of these areas reveals Welty's radical commentary of the spaces her camera captured. There are over eighty images in \u003ci\u003eExposing Mississippi\u003c\/i\u003e, including some never-before-seen archival photographs, and sections of the book draw on over three hundred more. The chapters on institutional, leisure, and memorial landscapes address how Welty's photographs contribute to, reflect on, and intervene in customary visual constructions of the Depression-era South.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnette Trefzer \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of English at the University of Mississippi.
