Description:

Africana Studies, American Studies, SRE Unlike other writers of his generation, who viewed America from distant shores, William Faulkner remained at home and explored his own region. From this intensely intimate vantage point, he was able to portray the American South in all of its glory and shame. Within Faulkner's narratives, slavery and its aftermath remain the disaster at the heart of American history. In this course, students read Faulkner's major novels, poetry, short stories, and film scripts. Students also read biographical material and examine the breadth of current Faulkner literary criticism.
