| New research on Freeman's fiction that challenges and expands earlier readings of regionalism and feminist politics Whilst Freeman is best known for her short regionalist fiction, recent studies have delved into new areas including the Gothic, ecocriticism, posthuman studies, trauma studies and queer theory. This collection of essays shows that Freeman resists many of the frames that have brought her and other (women) writers back to visibility. The essays o challenge feminist readings of the female realm: Freeman's women are suffocating as well as nurturing o highlight questions of race and ethnicity that have been conspicuously absent from scholarship on Freeman o show how her fiction engaged with issues of class, labour politics, and women's work: Freeman was a participant in and castigator of US capitalism o situate her in a world context and unsettle periodisation by exploring her neglected post-marriage fiction, war stories and urban stories. Collectively, these essays expand our sense of her work, reading with and against the grain of earlier readings of Freeman, feminism, regionalism and American literary culture.
