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.

Notes
- Papers originally presented at the 29th Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference in 2002
- "Although he spent the bulk of his life in Oxford, Mississippi - far removed from the intellectual centers of modernism and the writers who created it - William Faulkner (1897-1962) proved to be one of the American novelists who most comprehensively grasped modernism. In his fiction he tested its tenets in the most startling and insightful ways." "What, then, did such contemporaries as Ernest Hemingway, Eudora Welty, and Walker Evans think of his work? How did his times affect and accept what he wrote?" "Faulkner and His Contemporaries explores the relationship between the Nobel laureate, ensconced in his "postage stamp of native soil," and the world of letters within which he created his masterpieces." "In this 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." –BOOK JACKET
