"My Kind of Comedy"

In this academic study, “MY KIND OF COMEDY: AN EXEGETICAL READING OF FLANNERY O’CONNOR AS MEDIEVAL DRAMA” deciphers Flannery O’Connor’s fiction through the lens of medieval biblical exegesis and the English dramatists of the medieval miracle, mystery, and morality plays. “MY KIND OF COMEDY” peels away the grotesque dark comedy and tragedy in O’Connor’s mid-twentieth century novels and short stories and reveals underneath a master of a unique Christian comedic tradition that goes back over 500 years.
