In 1973 Eudora Welty won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Optimist's Daughter. Welty's autobiography One Writer's Beginnings was published in 1984 by Harvard University Press and was a nationwide best seller. Her numerous honors included membership in the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. She received the National Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Arts, and the French Legion d'Honneur. All these honors eloquently testify to Eudora Welty's stature in American letters. As Reynolds Price in 1969 observed, no one in America "has yet shown stronger, richer, more useful fiction," and Price added that Welty's work called to mind the fiction of Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Chekhov as her "peers for breadth and depth."
