    I SEE, HE SAYS, PERHAPS, ON TIME: VISION, VOICE, HYPOTHETICAL NARRATION, AND TEMPORALITY IN WILLIAM FAULKNER’S FICTION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David S. FitzSimmons, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James Phelan, Adviser Professor Jared Gardner ______________________ Adviser Professor Jessica Prinz Department of English Copyright by David S. FitzSimmons 2003 ABSTRACT This study examines four narrative techniques in William Faulkner’s fiction in order to accomplish two things: 1) see what applying contemporary narrative theory to Faulkner can tell us about his narratives; and 2) see how examining Faulkner’s narratives can cause us to revise or extend concepts in narrative theory. In other words, the study establishes a recursive relationship between Faulkner’s fiction and narrative theory, one in which each subject matter can illuminate the other. The four narrative techniques examined include shifts in focalization, shifts in voice, hypothetical narration, and representations of time. Each chapter examines background theory, gives examples of the technique, offers explication of the technique, and analyzes the technique’s effects. The first chapter takes “Barn Burning” as its main example and looks at how to identify shifts in focalization (vision), develops a model of layers of focalization, and investigates their effects. Chapter two focuses on As I Lay Dying and “Old Man” and examines narrative voice, works at defining voice, distinguishes conventional markers of narrative voice from voice features, and explores the effect of narrative voice.

  • A Modern Tragedy
    “WONDER. GO ON AND WONDER”: QUENTIN’S TRAGEDY FROM THE SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE by Huang Min 黄 敏 A Dissertation Presented to The Graduate School of Language, Communication, and Culture Kwansei Gakuin University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy March 2013 Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation “Wonder. Go on and wonder”: Quentin’s Tragedy from the Sociological Perspective by Huang Min Members of Evaluation Committee Major Advisor: Associate Advisor: Associate Advisor: Associate Advisor: i ABSTRACT “Wonder. Go on and wonder”: Quentin’s Tragedy from the Sociological Perspective by Huang Min A major hero in the works of William Faulkner, Quentin Compson used to be one of the most frequently commented characters. Regarding his death, there are a variety of critical opinions. Yet very few critical works have devoted to a thorough study of Quentin’s tragedy. The result is that voices on this issue are presented within the different concerns of critics and tend to overstress one aspect of the problem. The diversified opinions contribute much to the unsettled argument and the complexity of Quentin’s death itself. For want of a better argument, the critical world has paid considerably less attention to Quentin’s suicide over the last 30 years. My dissertation has tried to approach Quentin’s tragedy in a more systematic and consistent way by the adaptation of a sociological perspective, which has seen the accumulation of well-defined studies on ii the problem of suicide since Sociologist Durkheim’s monumental book Suicides published well over a century ago. It is from this discipline of social science that the present paper gains a theoretical framework for laying down the fundamental questions regarding Quentin’s death, in an attempt to objectively define and examine the development of his character and suicidal mentality.

  • Faulkner's Ethics
    Faulkner’s Ethics “Michael Wainwright’s reassessment of William Faulkner’s major works in relation to the ethics of Henry Sidgwick and Jacques Derrida—with support from game theory and psychoanalysis—is original, perceptive, and timely. Wainwright pro- vocatively refgures Faulkner’s corpus in the light of these hitherto disparate philo- sophical trajectories, and in doing so acquaints the philosophers with one another in ways which are lucid and suggestive. Faulkner’s Ethics: An Intense Struggle rep- resents a serious challenge to extant Faulkner scholarship.” —Niall Gildea, Author of Jacques Derrida’s Cambridge Affair: Deconstruction, Philosophy and Institutionality (2019) “Early Faulkner criticism often followed the trajectory of Faulkner’s life, some- times simply assuming that life had a moral compass. Later schools, for example historical materialism, sought the ‘substratum’ of material reality that underpinned the narrative, again only assuming that issues, such as the nature and economics of labor, had moral implications. Psychology, anthropology, mythology—all have had their day, often very useful days, often touching on ethical issues—but what has been lacking is ethics itself. Michael Wainwright’s Faulkner’s Ethics: An Intense Struggle will end that neglect and, I believe, spur a new interest in moral struggle, moral direction as it can be found in Faulkner’s life and literature.” —Charles A. Peek, Professor Emeritus, Department of English, University of Nebraska Kearney Michael Wainwright Faulkner’s Ethics An Intense Struggle Michael Wainwright Department of English Royal Holloway University of London Egham, UK ISBN 978-3-030-68871-4 ISBN 978-3-030-68872-1 (eBook) https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-68872-1 © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 This work is subject to copyright.

  • Don't Do It on My Carpet: the Humor of William Faulkner's “Barn Burning”
    Don’t Do It on My Carpet: The Humor of William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” Ulf Kirchdorfer Darton State College Abstract: William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” has been appreciated critically in just about every way but for its humor. While appreciations not concerned with humor are crucial to understanding the work, they can also be limiting. This discussion of Faulkner and humor in “Barn Burning” will acknowledge that humor stoops to low levels and crudity. But it also soars to great heights, with Faulkner’s command of the English language and ability to draw allusions effortlessly into the fabric of his story. Keywords: William Faulkner, humor, the South, “Barn Burning” There is no denying that William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” is not perme- ated by a sense of tragedy and worse. If one focuses on the childhood of Sarty, who lives in an infernal parenting situation dominated by a mean- spirited, outrightly abusive father who is a pyromaniac, accompanied in strange concert by a loving but ineffectual mother with a bullying older brother, and two sisters who could be poster children for inertia, with a tag-along aunt, tears could flow from the reader and even anger could be expressed at the situation depicted. I would like to propose another reading of “Barn Burning,” in which any moisture from the tear ducts and surge of energy expended comes from readers responding to its humor.1 1 I wish to thank Mark Shackleton for his sympathetic reading of the manuscript-in-progress. His detailed commen- tary anticipated and encouraged more exploration in the direction I wanted to undertake my study of Faulkner.

  • 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).

Imagery and the Making of The Hamlet: Of Snopeses and Cows Jacques Pothier Université Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines In 1962 at West Point Faulkner makes a rare comment on his process of writing. He is answering the question of a student about how he "goes about writing": "The stories with me begin with an anecdote or a sentence or an expression, and I’ll start from there and sometimes I write the thing backwards — I myself don’t know where any story is going.

GAY FAULKNER: UNCOVERING A HOMOSEXUAL PRESENCE IN YOKNAPATAWPHA AND BEYOND A dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English The University of Mississippi by PHILLIP ANDREW GORDON June 2013 Copyright Phillip Andrew Gordon 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation is a biographical study of William Faulkner (1897-1962) as his life coincided with a particular moment in LGBT history when the words homosexual and queer were undergoing profound changes and when our contemporary understanding of gay identity was becoming a widespread and recognizable epistemology. 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.

So to break it down: Spotted Horses is a comedic tale. View: Gallery View. The Wayward Bus. Faulkner and Else had an affair that lasted until the end of Boon, especially, looks like a wild man, and in the space of fourteen hours he gets drunk twice. Anyway, I'm not a huge Three Famous Short Novels: Spotted Horses of Faulkner to begin with and none of these stories did much for me. She taught her sons to read before sending them to public school and exposed them to classics such as Charles Dickens and Grimms' Fairy Tales. It's just Old Man. He then fields questions from them. His first short story collection, These 13includes many of his most acclaimed and most frequently anthologized stories, including " A Rose for Emily ", " Red Leaves ", " That Evening Sun ", and " Dry September ". And this had to have some title and so that struck me as being a good title for it. Collected Stories. As I said, frustrated. No Preference. Faulkner's grandfather would also tell him of the exploits of William's great-grandfather and namesake, William Clark Falknerwho was a successful businessman, writer, Old Man Confederate hero. Item Location see all. As far as I can recall I never read a Faulkner novel before. Faulkner's stream-of-consciousness writing requires the reader to apply unswerving focus at every moment; read this book as you would any other, and you'll soon find yourself drowning in a morass of incomprehension, but corral your energy into exclusive, singleminded attention and, as a reward, you will enter 'the zone' to savor a rich immersion in the experience of human spirit.
