  • Capital and Identity in Motion in Faulkner's the Sound And
    i “FATHOMLESS, SYMBOLIC, AND THREATENING”: CAPITAL AND IDENTITY IN MOTION IN FAULKNER’S THE SOUND AND THE FURY AND STYRON’S SET THIS HOUSE ON FIRE A thesis submitted to Kent State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts By Aaron Solomon Finley May, 2011 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction …....…………………………………..………………..……………….. 1 Chapter I …………………………………….....…………………………………….. 19 Chapter II …..……………...………………….…………………………………..….. 43 Conclusion …………………………………...…………………………………….… 79 Works Cited ………………………………………...………………….…………..… 94 ii Introduction “We seem to try in the single furious breathing (or writing) span of the individual to draw a savage indictment of the contemporary scene or to escape from it into a make-believe region of swords and magnolias and mockingbirds which perhaps never existed anywhere.” – William Faulkner (Hobson 3) The following argument follows a certain chronology. It begins somewhere in the postbellum Southern United States where a group of Southern writers and theorists saw an inevitable change on the horizon and made the conscious decision to define themselves in the struggle against it. That inevitability was the spread and eventual globalization of industrial capitalism which had begun to creep into the American South bringing with it the threat of a complete transformation of the politics, the economy, and the identity of the region. Those who sought to slow or stop the invasion were engaged in a futile battle. The “Lost Cause” of the Confederacy had become the Lost Cause of the Old South – an idealized myth of the American South of generations past. It was a concept created through nostalgia, the very proclamation of which was the first 1 2 significant evidence of its passing.

Acknowledgments I WISH TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO THE MANY PEOPLE WHO counseled or otherwise aided me in assembling this book. My sense of indebtedness is especially great to the staff members of Consumers Union—especially Mildred Brady and Florence Mason—who showed such patience in supplying me with information and advice. I also feel particularly indebted to William Zabel for the many hours he spent in 1958 helping me understand some of the then-known ramifications of planned obsolescence. It is not possible to cite by name all of the several hundred people who contributed to this book by offering insights, information, or criticism. And some, I know, would not wish to be identified. However, I would like to express my special appreciation to Leland Gordon, Raymond Loewy, Warren Bilkey, Robert Cook, Louis C. Jones, Loring Chase, George Stocking, R.

  • Stuart Wright Booklet
    Joyner Library Presents Stuart Wright: A Life In Collecting September 7, 2011 A Message from the Dean East Carolina University® Like Tom Douglass, I first met Stuart Wright when I stepped off the train with my wife Sue in Ludlow, England—the English country squire waiting for us soon proved to be a Southern Gentleman in exile. In fact, I think this was confirmed the night STUART WRIGHT: Sue prepared “southern fried chicken” and mashed potatoes. Stuart asked for the recipe after his first helping, feasted on the leftovers for several days, and said it The Badger of Old Street stirred memories in him from long ago. On our short visit to 28 Old Street, Stuart showed and told us as much as we could absorb about the extraordinary collection of southern American literature that he hoped would eventually come to East Carolina University and Joyner Library. I was delighted with what I saw and heard and carefully calculated how much space we would need to house the collection if we could agree on price and terms. Being only acquainted with the work of some of the authors like Robert Penn Warren, Randall Jarrell, and Eudora Welty, I could not truly appreciate the importance of the book collection or the exceptional quality of the many boxes of letters, journals, and manuscripts that comprised the collection. Fortunately, Tom Douglass could and he and Stuart spent many hours poring over the materials and discussing their significance while I could only listen in amazement. My amazement and delight have only increased markedly since the collection has come to Joyner Library.

INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • The Critical Reception of I'll Take My Stand and John
    TRADITION, MYTH AND THE AGRARIAN COMMUNITY: THE CRITICAL RECEPTION OF I’LL TAKE MY STAND AND JOHN CROWE RANSOM’S AGRARIAN PHILOSOPHY BY MATTHEW ERIC JORDAN (Under the direction of Dr. James E. Kibler) ABSTRACT Seeking to define aspects of John Crowe Ransom’s agrarian philosophy, particularly as it relates to individuals, communities, and the traditions and myths associated with each. While critics dismissed the offering as a sentimentalized eulogy for the fantasy of antebellum culture, Ransom articulated that principles and ideas, those elements addressing the humane life lived in contemplation, were the focus of his contributions to I’ll Take My Stand. This examination presents key criticisms that represent the harshest charges leveled against Ransom, and, in doing so, a context is provided in which the subtleties of the Agrarian philosophy can be contrasted with those of Industrialism. Ultimately, this examination will reveal that Ransom’s philosophical position was dismissively misunderstood at I’ll Take My Stand’s original critical reception. INDEX WORDS: John Crowe Ransom, I’ll Take My Stand, Critical Reception, Agrarianism, Philosophy, Agrarians, Myth, Tradition.
