William FAULKNER (1897~1962) – The Sound and the Fury – Le Bruit et la Fureur (1929) Traduit de l’américain par Maurice Edgar COINDREAU (1972) (1) William FAULKNER s’est souvenu de l’expression « sound and fury » quand il s’est agi de choisir un titre au roman qu’il venait d’achever. SHAKESPEARE en était l’auteur dans sa tragédie Macbeth. À l’annonce par Seyton de la mort de lady Macbeth, Macbeth (acte V, scène 5, lignes 25 à 29) définit la vie ainsi: “Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player, La vie n’est qu’une ombre qui marche, un pauvre acteur That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, Qui se pavane et s’agite à son heure sur la scène, And then heard no more: it’s a tale Et puis qu’on n’entend plus : «c’est un récit Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Raconté par un idiot, plein de bruit et de fureur, Signifying nothing.” Qui ne signifie rien. » * « Le Bruit et la Fureur », publié en 1929, fait partie avec Sartoris (1927), Absalon ! Absalon !(1936), L’Invaincu (1938), Descend moïse (1942), L’intrus (1948), Requiem pour une nonne (1951), de la « saga de Jefferson » (alias Oxford, Mississippi) qu’il appela le «Livre ». Ces 7 romans ont pour décor le Sud natal de William FAULKNER, dont il immortalisa le comté d’Oxford sous le nom de Yolnapatawpha. * Lire la préface de Maurice Edgar COINDREAU apporte une aide considérable à la lecture du récit. Le drame se déroule entre les membres de trois générations de Compson, une vieille famille du Sud des États-Unis servies par trois générations de nègres. -

O que está em primeiro plano não é uma leitura crítica do autor, e sim uma organização de leituras críticas anteriores. Ao fim do texto, é esboçada uma proposição acerca do apelo específico que Faulkner teve na França. Dos seis livros de Faulkner publicados durante os anos 30, cinco trazem prefácios. Esses textos são de autoria de figuras de grande influência no ambiente literário francês: os tradutores Maurice-Edgar Coindreau e René-Noël Raimbault, o crítico e escritor Valery Larbaud e o escritor, político e jornalista André Malraux. A partir das leituras propostas nesses prefácios, é possível tentar estabelecer uma relação entre o ambiente cultural da França e a obra de William Faulkner. Para estabelecer tal relação, este trabalho se divide em três partes, cada qual correspondendo a um de seus capítulos. -

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. B. Emerson’s unpublished doctoral dissertation, “William Faulkner’s Literary Reputation in America” (Vanderbilt University, 1962). The present bibliography begins where Beebe’s latest checklist leaves off, but no precise termination date can be established since publica tion dates for periodicals vary widely, and it has seemed more useful to cover all possible material than to set an arbitrary cutoff date. -
An Aesthetic Consciousness
An Aesthetic Consciousness: An Existentialist Reading of William Faulkner’s Fiction Maya Heller MPhil English and Comparative Literature Goldsmiths, University of London December 2017 I hereby declare that all of the work presented in this thesis is my own. Maya Heller, 7th December 2017 2 Abstract This thesis presents an existentialist reading of William Faulkner’s early fiction (1925-31). Moving away from a regionalist perspective the thesis argues that Faulkner’s work can be viewed as part of a universal and aesthetic exploration of the human condition. By focusing specifically on Jean-Paul Sartre’s early philosophy (1930s-40s) and the concepts of consciousness, the duality of being: being-in-itself (the world of objects) and being-for-itself (human consciousness), the thesis investigates the way in which consciousness operates ontologically in Faulkner’s prose. It argues that a decidedly existentialist consciousness can be traced in Faulkner, one in which a linked relationship between imagination and reality lays bare the fragility of the characters and a sense of displacement in Faulkner’s fiction. Within the context of existentialism, the thesis also emphasises the importance of the artist figure within Faulkner’s writing. As the embodiment of existential action and choice, the artist in Faulkner’s fiction reflects a sense of liberation and freedom. In this context, the existentialist reading re- examines the way the artist’s sense of reality hinges on the interaction between human consciousness and the world of objects, between Faulkner’s representation of art (text, painting and sculpture) and form and technique (fragmentation and multiple perspective). -
William Faulkner and the French-Speaking World Nabil

Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijll.v2n4a6 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.15640/ijll.v2n4a6 William Faulkner and the French-Speaking World Nabil Boudraa1 Abstract This article deals with the influence of William Faulkner on some French andFrancophone writers.I argue that French authors, such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and André Malraux, find in Faulkner’s fictional work resonance to their own philosophical ideas, namely the sense of the tragic and the metaphysics of time. Francophone writers, on the other hand, like KatebYacine, Edouard Glissant, RachidBoudjedra, among many others, are more attracted to Faulkner’s work for such issues as the vernacular language, the poetics of landscape, and the class and race issues. Key words : Influence-Faulkner- French literature- Francophone literature The Martinican writer Édouard Glissant, when asked, in a graduate seminar I attended two decades ago, about his choice for the best writer of the twentieth century, said without any hesitation: “Faulkner, despite Joyce and Proust.” Later in the same day I watched a documentary on the Algerian writer, Kateb Yacine, and again I was surprised to hear that he, too, invoked Faulkner as “the greatest writer of our time.” This fascination with Faulkner stirred my curiosity, and I immediately wanted to understand why both Glissant and Kateb, as Francophone writers, admired this American writer instead of such writers as Jean-Paul Sartre, André Malraux, or even Albert Camus. -

William Faulkner. La Saga De La Famille Sudiste
WILLIAM FAULKNER LA SAGA DE LA FAMILLE SUDISTE © Lignes S.A. 1988 ISBN 2-906284-80-7 GWENDOLYNE/CHABRIER WILLIAM FAULKNER LA SAGA DE LA FAMILLE SUDISTE LIBRAIRIE SÉGUIER 3, rue Séguier, 75006 Paris INTRODUCTION Cet ouvrage a pour objectif d'étudier la famille faulknérienne d'un point de vue littéraire à travers l'œuvre — romans et nouvelles — de Faulkner. Toutefois, quelle que soit l'analyse littéraire que l'on peut faire du lauréat du prix Nobel, cette analyse doit prendre en considération le contexte sociologique et biographique de l'auteur, tout en mettant en balance l'importance de la projection par rapport à la réalité. Faulkner est tout d'abord un sudiste, et sa conception de- la famille ne peut être comprise que dans son cadre spécifique. Le rôle prépondérant que joue la famille, en tant que telle, est bien résumé dans un article récent de Donald M. Kar- tiganer : « Plus peut-être que le chroniqueur d'un coin mythique du Mississippi, Faulkner est le premier romancier américain de la famille. Les personnages qu'il décrit de ma- nière si caractéristique et si forte traînent dans leur sillage des nuées de parents qui les déterminent : grands-parents, parents, frères et sœurs dont l'identité cumulative forme l'indispensa- ble contexte du caractère individuel. La plupart des person- nages de Faulkner ne sont pas des êtres seuls et isolés, mais des entreprises collectives, le produit et le processus de drames familiaux, sans lesquels l'acteur individuel est à peine com- préhensible. » Pour Faulkner, comme pour ses compatriotes sudistes, la famille était déjà, bien avant la Guerre Civile, l'institution dominante du Sud, comme elle l'est encore de nos jours. -

American Novelists in French Eyes In: Atlantic Monthly, Aug
American Novelists in French Eyes in: Atlantic Monthly, Aug. 46 by Jean-Paul Sartre French novelist, playwright, philosopher, and editor, Jean-Paul Sartre here describes the impact of those American novelists — Hemingway, Steinbeck, Faulkner, and Dos Passos — who have had a formative influence upon the young French authors. The essay was translated for us by Miss Evelyn de Solis. 1 There is one American literature for Americans and another for the French. In France the general reader knows Babbitt and Gone With the Wind , but these books have had no influence on French literature. The greatest literary development in France between 1999 and 1939 was the discovery of Faulkner, Dos Passos, Hemingway, Caldwell, Steinbeck. The choice of these authors, many people have told me, was due to Professor Maurice Coindreau of Princeton, who sent us their works in translation with excellent prefaces. But a selection by any one man is effective only if he foresees the demands of the collective group to which he addresses himself. With Coindreau as intermediary, the French public selected the works it needed. It is true that these authors have not had in France a popular success comparable to that of Sinclair Lewis. Their influence was far more restricted, but infinitely more profound. We needed them and not your famous Dreiser. To writers of my generation, the publication of The 42nd Parallel , Light in August , A Farewell to Arms , evoked a revolution similar to the one produced fifteen years earlier in Europe by the Ulysses of James Joyce. Their reception was prepared for by the excellent Bridge of San Luis Rey of Thornton Wilder. -

The French Faulkner: Visibility, Absence, and Sanctuary’S “Lake of Ink”
P ETER L URIE The French Faulkner: Visibility, Absence, and Sanctuary’s “Lake of Ink” Like Edgar Allan Poe and the American film noir, William Faulkner enjoyed a critical reception in France that anticipated his American audience by several years. While not the first critics to admire Faulk ner’s writing, readers like Maurice Coindreau, André Malraux, and JeanPaul Sartre were among the earliest readers to recognize a par ticular quality to his fiction, one that, especially in the case of certain novels, evaded Faulkner’s contemporary American readers. As certain examples of this crosscultural acceptance demonstrate, such as Baudelaire’s translation of Poe in the nineteenth century and his ex alting of Poe as a poetic genius, or Raymond Borde and Emile Chau menton’s embrace of the fatalistic atmosphere and disquieting mise en scène of America’s postwar, Bmovie cycle for which they coined the name film noir, French thinkers have often been more receptive to what was startling or new in American cultural expression. In these cases, something dark or ‘unwholesome’ attached to the American object of French inquiry. Whether or not the French acceptance of these elements was owed to a beneficial distance from the object – true to an extent of all transatlantic or crosscultural exchanges – it is the case that Poe and the noir became what they are due to French inter vention.1 Of this critical phenomenon, Faulkner’s early fiction offers a par ticular example. And while evidence of this relationship extends through Faulkner’s career and many of his novels (and was illustrated, for Coindreau, by the fact that the French press was more effusive about Faulkner’s Nobel Prize in 1950 than was the American media), it is nowhere more evident than in the critical response to Sanctuary. -
Gavin Bowd André Marty and Ernest Hemingway
Gavin Bowd André Marty and Ernest Hemingway Abstract On its publication in October 1940, Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls was widely acclaimed but caused anger and dismay among supporters of the defeated Spanish Republic, starting with veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. For them, the most egregious passage in the novel was Hemingway’s portrayal of André Marty, chief political commissar of the International Brigades, as a bloodthirsty crazy: ‘está loco’, say all those who encounter him. This article places the reception of this novel and the reputation of Marty in the context of the tortuous history of the communist movement. Drawing on the press, memoirs, historiography and Marty’s own private papers, we see how the contrasting fortunes of the novelist and the communist leader illustrate a ‘craziness’ which For Whom the Bell Tolls both captures and anticipates. (word count: 9 250 words) Keywords: Spanish Civil War communism Franco-American relations historical fiction memory Text It has been hard to be dispassionate about André Marty, the so-called ‘butcher of Albacete’. His career in the communist movement saw rapid rise then brutal fall: from hero of the Black Sea mutiny in 1919 to Paris deputy, chief political commissar of the International Brigades, secretary of the Comintern and leading member of the PCF politburo, before becoming a non-person after a show-trial à la française in 1952. Attacked by Stalinists, Trotskyists, anarchists and fascists, among many others, André Marty’s reputation was further compromised by his portrayal in Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls.
