Department of English The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date September 3. 1965. ABSTRACT The influence of the pre-Civil War Southwestern humorists on the work of William Faulkner has long been hypothesized. But it has received scant critical attention, much of it erroneous or so general as to be almost meaningless. While Faulkner's total vision is more than merely humorous, humor is a significant part of that vision. And the importance of frontier humor to Faulkner's art is further substantiated by the fact that many of his grotesque passages derive from ele• ments of this humor. Frontier humor flourished from I83O to I860, and while a large group of men then flooded American newspapers with contributions, it now survives in anthologies and the book- length collections of its most prominent writers — Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, Joseph Glover Baldwin, Johnson Jones Hooper, William Tappan Thompson, Thomas Bangs Thorpe, and George Washington Harris.

Lloyd: Faulkner Bibliography An Annotated Bibliography of William Faulkner, 1967—1970 by James Barlow Lloyd This annotated bibliography of books and articles published about William Faulkner and his works between January, 1967, and the summer of 1970 supplements such existing secondary bibliog­ raphies as Maurice Beebe’s checklists in the Autumn 1956 and Spring 1967 issues of Modern Fiction Studies; Linton R. Massey’s William Faulkner: “Man Working” 1919-1962: A Catalogue of the William Faulkner Collection of the University of Virginia (Charlottesville: Bibliographic Society of the University of Virginia, 1968); and O.

To Claire, as a monument to our adventure in Oklahoma. Acknowledgements This project is in many ways the culmination of everything I have done before, and thus it is necessary to acknowledge everyone I have had the pleasure to have known the past three years in the University of Oklahoma English Department: faculty, staff, and my fellow graduate students. In particular, I would like to thank both Dr. McDonald and Dr. Garofalo for not only serving on my committee, but for teaching seminars so influential that they changed the way that I viewed the world and, subsequently, my future plans. In a similar vein, I would like to thank Dr. John Burke and Dr. William Ulmer at the University of Alabama, as I would have never even been here without their part in shaping my formless undergraduate curiosity into the more disciplined inquisitiveness of a scholar. Most of all, I am indebted to my Chair, Dr. James Zeigler, who has over the past three years listened carefully to every road not taken by this work, and always provided clear, helpful feedback as well as a sense of positivity that has made all the difference in its completion.

  • William Faulkner I 89 7-19 62
    WILLIAM FAULKNER I 89 7-19 62 Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi, to a family that had once included wealthy and pow- erful people ruined by the Civil Var. His great- grandfather was a popular novelist, and this ancestor served, like other family members, as a model from whom Faulkner drew traits used in composing the characters in his fiction. He attended the Universiry of Mississippi in Oxford before and after his service in the Royal Canadian Air Force in World Var I. Thereafter, he lived in Oxford for most of his life, though he spent much time in Hollywood as a screenwriter. It was in New Orleans, though, that his literary career began' There he met Sherwood Anderson, who encour- aged him ro rurn from poetry to fiction and helped him get his first novel published. His lifetime's work, which eventually won Faulkner a Nobel Ptize in 1950, is largely a depiction of life in his fictional Yoknapatawpha County, an imaginative reconstruction of the area adlacent to Oxford. Faulkner was a Pas- sionately devoted hunter, and his love of the disappearing wilderness is expressed in many of his tales. He soughr our rhe honor and courage of people thwarted by circumstance, and the sum of his writing testifies to his faith that these virtues will prevail despite the corruptions of modern life. His major novels *ere irostly the product of a prodigious decade of creative effort. They include The Sound and the Furl (1929), As I Lajt DYing (1930), sanctuaryr (1931), Light in Augwst (1932), Absalom, Absalom! (1,936),Wild Palms (1939), and The Ham- tet (Ig40).

The connections forged in this study--based on archival research from Joseph Blotner’s extensive biographical notes--reveal a version of Faulkner distinctly not anxious about homosexuality and, in fact, often quite comfortable with gay men and living in gay environments (New Orleans, New York). From these connections, I reassess Faulkner’s pre-marriage writings (1918-1929) for their prolific reference to homosexual themes.

  • Life Is Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing: an Ironic Representation of Faulkner’S “The Sound and the Fury” Through Dilsey’S Fortitude
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 25, Issue 8, Series 5 (August. 2020) 36-39 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Life is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing: An Ironic Representation of Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury” through Dilsey’s Fortitude Md Selim Akhtar Ph.D. Research Scholar, University Department of English, Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, Malda, West Bengal, India, Abstract: Dilsey‟s faith and fidelity to the Compson household, her compassion for the idiot Benzy, her common concerns for all the children in that household, and her steadfast devotion to her employers win her our regard and admiration. She is the only one in the novel who acts positively and unselfishly, and who depends on Christian faith and love as a defense against sin and evil. Dilsey transcends chaos by her vision of Christian equilibrium and order. She also embodies much that the Compsons lack, especially a duty to her position as a servant and her total faith in God. In the final section of the novel, Faulkner greatly emphasized her role and gave her much attention and importance. For instances, the Easter Sunday service in the negro church is immensely moving, a glorification of simplicity, innocence, and love, with Dilsey and Benzy as the central figures. The other meaningful rite in which Dilsey participates is the birthday-cake of Benzy‟s 34th birthday which she has bought with her own money. Into this novel about selfish characters obsessed with time, the expressions of Dilsey‟s love and the Easter sermon introduce the dimension of eternity and the power of unselfish love.

    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 105-107, January 2011 © 2011 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/tpls.1.1.105-107 Working through Falulkner’s A Rose for Emily—On Character and Character Portrayal Jie Fang Foreign Languages College, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, Qingdao, China Email: [email protected] Abstract—William Faulkner's first published and still the best-known short story A Rose for Emily combined his artistic preoccupations and techniques to portray the character. The adoption of the conventional techniques and experimental devices depicts the complexity of the female psyche in decline and transition. Index Terms—character, character portrayal, conventional technique, experimental device, female psyche I. INTRODUCTION Among all the American writers in 1930's, Faulkner's achievement was so prominent that none of his contemporaries could compare with him. While any account of Faulkner's achievement as a whole must make some acknowledgement of his mastery of the short story form. And these short stories are important in his career of the successive volumes. "A Rose for Emily"(1930) is the first of Faulkner's short stories to be published and perhaps still the best-known. In it are examples of several of Faulkner's artistic preoccupations and techniques. He combines the conventional techniques and experimental devices to portray the character. II. WAYS TO PORTRAY THE CHARACTER Fiction writers have many ways to present character. The organization--brief telling followed by considerable showing--is common in fiction. The short story "A Rose for Emily" is a good example of this organization.

  • William Faulkner. the Sound and the Fury
    WILLIAM FAULKNER A reader of novéis hospitably invited to talk about them in another country is bound to note the importance of topography. Whether the Americans travel to Italy with A Farewell to Arms, or conunute from Long Island with The Great Gatsby, or put their roots in the middlewest with My Antonia, or are deracinated from New York with The Age oflnnocence, perhaps topography is even more important for generations that spend their Uves on the same terrain. The spirit of the place, the genius loci, the regionalism of the North American South is omnipresent in the work of William Faulkner. For his compatriots who are not Southemers, the South may well seem to look like another coimtry whose history is clouded with the issue of slavery leading to the Civil War, and by legends nostalgically suffused with the verandas and magnolias of Gone With the Wind or the decadent aroma of Faulkner's story, "A Rose for Emily." Given the inclination to Uve in a feudal, quasi-mythical past, and given the need to face up to the windmills of commonplace reality, it is not surprising that Faulkner set himself to rereading Don Quixote every year. In Absolom! Absolom!, Quentin Compson is asked, 'Tell me about the South. What is it like there? What do they do there? Why do they live there? Why do they live at all?" His reply is, "You can't understand it. You'd have to be bom there." But Quentin goes on at some length to try to tell Shreve about the South, until Shreve says, "Now I want you to tell me just one thing more.
