"Her second novel, The Violent Bear It Away, is O'Connor's last. Farrar, Straus and Cudahy published it on 8 February 1860, the culmination of a writing activity that had occupied O'Connor intermittently since 1952." O'Connor viewed it as her greatest literary accomplishment and it is generally cited as her masterpiece, a classic of Southern Gothic literature.
