ENGL 4065 - The Fiction of William Faulkner

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Arguably the best American literary talent of the first half of the twentieth century, William Faulkner examined the South as a once-defeated nation and the effects of the legacy of slavery and continuing racism on the psychology, society, and economics of the region. His storytelling strategies are complex and challenging, becoming an inseparable part of the tales he tells and demanding constant re-evaluation and awareness by the reader. We will consider the major novels - THE SOUND AND THE FURY, AS I LAY DYING, LIGHT IN AUGUST, ABASALOM, ABSALOM, and THE HAMLET - as well as the novelistic GO DOWN, MOSES - and a number of his most accomplished short stories and other texts.
