The Excitement of Possibility: Mason's "Shiloh."
Whitton, Natasha L.
Eureka Studies In Teaching Short Fiction, v1 n1 p108-19 Fall 2000
Considers how Bobbie Ann Mason's short story "Shiloh" contains a wealth of metaphoric imagery and has been analyzed through various lenses of the literary tradition, including that of the Grail quest. Suggests that it provides the necessary components for any unit concentrating on teaching the anatomy of the elements of the short story. Discusses literal interpretations, metaphors, and imagery.
