Faulkner’s Imperialism : Space, Place, And The Materiality Of Myth

Attribution
Taylor Hagood
Publication Details
Book, Louisiana State University Press, 2008
Description
In Faulkner’s Imperialism, Taylor Hagood explores two staples of Faulkner’s world: myth and place. Rather than reading the roles of myth and place according to conventional myth criticism or typical place models used by other Faulkner scholars, Hagood examines the intertextuality within Faulkner’s writing, as well as the relationship of his writing to others’ work, in an attempt to understand how the texts fit together and speak to one another.

Attribution
John Rieder
Publication Details
Book, Wesleyan University Press, 2008
Description
This is the first full-length study of emerging Anglo-American science fiction’s relation to the history, discourses, and ideologies of colonialism and imperialism.

Spain’s Long Shadow : The Black Legend, Off-whiteness, And Anglo-American Empire

Attribution
María DeGuzmán
Publication Details
Book, University of Minnesota Press, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
England and the Netherlands, Spain’s imperial rivals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, imagined Spain as cruel and degenerate barbarians of la leyenda negra (the Black Legend), in league with the powers of “blackest darkness” and driven by “dark motives.” Surveying a broad range of texts and images from Poe’s “William Wilson” and John Singer Sargent’s “El Jaleo” to Richard Wright’s “Pagan Spain” and Kathy Acker’s Don Quixote, Spain’s Long Shadow shows how the creation of Anglo-American ethnicity as specifically American has depended on the casting of Spain as a colonial alter ego.
