  • Faulkner's God
    FAULKNER’S GOD & Other Perspectives To My Brother Arne "Memory believes before knowing remembers ....” –Light in August CONTENTS: Preface 2 1. Faulkner and Holy Writ: The Principle of Inversion 4 2. Music: Faulkner's “Eroica" 20 3. Liebestod: Faulkner and The Lessons of Eros 34 4. Between Truth and Fact: Faulkner’s Symbols of Identity 61 5. Transition: Faulkner’s Drift From Freud to Marx 79 6. Faulkner’s God: A Jamesian Perspective 127 SOURCES 168 INDEX 173 * For easier revision and reading, I have changed the format of the original book to Microsoft Word. 2 PREFACE "With Soldiers' Pay [his first novel] I found out writing was fun," Faulkner remarked in his Paris Review interview. "But I found out afterward that not only each book had to have a design but the whole output or sum of an artist's work had to have a design." In the following pages I have sought to illuminate that larger design of Faulkner's art by placing the whole canon within successive frames of thought provided by various sources, influences, and affinities: Holy Writ, music, biopsychology, religion, Freud/Marx, William James. In the end, I hope these essays may thereby contribute toward revealing in Faulkner's work what Henry James, in "The Figure in the Carpet," spoke of as "the primal plan; some thing like a complex figure in a Persian carpet .... It's the very string . .my pearls are strung upon.... It stretches ... from book to book." I wish to acknowledge my debt to William J. Sowder for his discussion of the "Sartrean stare" in "Colonel Thomas Sutpen as Existentialist Hero" in American Literature (January 1962); to James B.

  • A Companion to American Literature]
    Journal of Transnational American Studies 10.2 (Winter/Spring 2019–20) Reprise Connecting a Different Reading Public: Compiling [A Companion to American Literature] Yu Jianhua Shanghai International Studies University At the end of 2015, ten years after the project was initiated, A Companion to American Literature was finally published by Commercial Press in Beijing. This was the first attempt in Chinese academia at compiling a large-scale handbook covering foreign literature published in China and in Chinese. The Companion provides readers in China with easy access to sources in order for them to gain a better understanding of three hundred years of American literature. It includes well-known authors and their major works, literary historians and critics, literary journals, awards, organizations and movements, as well as terminologies such as “tall tale” and “minstrel show” that are unique to American literature. We started in a small way in 2003 after a suggestion from Fudan University Press that we provide a handy companion on American literature for Chinese undergraduates and graduate students. After American Literature: Authors and Their Works was published in 2005, a more ambitious plan emerged for a new handbook that was to be more comprehensive, and one that was to be written in Chinese for Chinese readers. The proposition received financial support from the Shanghai International Studies University Research Fund, and later, The National Social Science Fund of China, with more than thirty professors and young scholars participating in the project. After decisions were made in regard to the general layout and entries, we set to work, each responsible for an area that he or she specialized in, and together we contributed to the project that came to fruition ten years later.

  • Cormac Mccarthy's Collaborative Authorship
    "Your Side of the Street": Cormac McCarthy's Collaborative Authorship By Daniel Robert King Dissertation submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies November 2012 Contents Abstract. iii Acknowledgements v Introduction 1 Chapter 1 - McCarthy at Random House: The Albert Erskine Years 30 Chapter 2 - Toilers in the Orchard: The Long Genesis of The Orchard Keeper 59 Chapter 3 - Evading "Dullness and Garrulity": The Copyediting of Suttree 83 Chapter 4 - "As Proper a Use of History as Any": The Researching and Writing of Blood Meridian 105 Chapter 5 - Skittish Screenplays: The Border Trilogy 128 Chapter 6 - Composite Auteurship: The Varied Production Lives of No Country For Old Men 155 Chapter 7 - Boats and Brothers: The Road 182 Conclusion 206 Bibliography 219 Abstract In this thesis I investigate the relationship between contemporary author Cormac McCarthy and his editors: Albert Erskine at Random House and Gary Fisketjon and Dan Frank at Alfred A Knopf. In investigating these relationships I attempt to give insight into the working practices of McCarthy, and by doing so examine the changing world of publishing at Random House. I also explore the implications for established critical understandings of McCarthy's work of the significant changes which were made during the re-writing and editing of McCarthy's novels. In mapping relationships between author, editor and agent I conduct a study of the changing modes and models of author-editor and author-editor-agent relationships within Random House and its subsidiary Alfred A Knopf. Taking each of McCarthy's novels in turn as a case study I construct an examination of the relationships between this tightly knit core group and the various specialist collaborators who appear at scattered but significant moments during McCarthy's literary career.
