Faulkner And His Contemporaries

Attribution
Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha, 2002 ; edited by Joseph R. Urgo and Ann J. Abadie
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Mississippi, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
In the anthology, essays focus on such topics as how Faulkner’s literary antecedents (in particular, Willa Cather and Joseph Conrad) influenced his writing, his literary/aesthetic feud with rival Ernest Hemingway, and the common themes he shares with fellow southerners Welty and Evans. Kenneth Holditch shows how the city of New Orleans acted as a major force in Faulkner’s fiction, and Grace Elizabeth Hale examines how the civil rights era of Faulkner’s later career compelled him to deal with his ideas about race and rebellion in new ways.
