  • The Mammy, the Belle, and Southern Memory in William Faulkner Lucy Buzacott BA (Hons), University of Queensland
    “The Women, the Indomitable, the Undefeated”: The Mammy, the Belle, and Southern Memory in William Faulkner Lucy Buzacott BA (Hons), University of Queensland A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Communication and the Arts 1 Abstract This thesis considers William Faulkner and Southern memory through the author’s representation of Southern femininity, both black and white, in the figures of the mammy and the Southern belle. It argues that the mammy and the belle not only coexist and interact in Faulkner’s work, but are structuring elements of the same Southern mythology. This thesis reads Faulkner’s women in conversation with the development of Lost Cause mythology, plantation and popular fiction, psychoanalytical accounts of racial difference, gender and race as performance, and Faulkner’s biography, and argues that doing so creates new spaces to develop the critical conversation around Faulkner’s female characters and, in turn, his fiction’s relationship to Southern memory, race, and gender. This thesis explores the relationships that exist between women in two sets of paired texts—The Sound and the Fury and “That Evening Sun,” Sanctuary and Requiem for a Nun—along with the overtly masculine narrative of Absalom, Absalom!. It also considers what these relationships mean for masculinity and gender identity under the complex and dangerous racial conditions of the postbellum American South. Faulkner’s own relationship to Southern memory and memorialisation is also central to this thesis as it explores his personal and political investment in the mammy figure via his relationship with Caroline Barr and the representation of this relationship in the essay “Mississippi” and novel Go Down, Moses.
