William Faulkner : The Making of a Modernist [Used]
Amid all that has been published about William Faulkner, one subject -- the nature of his thought -- remains largely unexplored. But, as Daniel Singal's new intellectual biography reveals, we can learn much about Faulkner's art by relating it to the cultural and intellectual discourse of his era, and much about that era by coming to terms with his art. Through detailed analyses of individual texts, from the earliest poetry through ###Go Down, Moses#, Singal traces Faulkner's attempt to liberate himself from the repressive Victorian culture in which he was raised by embracing the Modernist culture of the artistic avant-garde. To accommodate the conflicting demands of these two cultures, Singal shows, Faulkner created a complex and fluid structure of selfhood based on a set of dual identities -- one, that of a Modernist author writing on the most daring and subversive issues of his day, and the other, that of a southern country gentleman loyal to the conservative mores of his community. Indeed, it is in the clash between these two selves, Singal argues, that one finds the key to making sense of Faulkner.

William Faulkner : His Life and Work [Used]
"Any future Faulkner biographer--and there will be others, rest assured of that--will find it difficult to surpass what Minter has accomplished."--Jonathan YardleyIn this highly acclaimed biography, David Minter draws upon a wealth of material, including the novelist's essays, interviews, published and unpublished letters, as well as his poems, stories, and novels, to illuminate the close relationship between the flawed life and the artistic achievement of one of twentieth-century America's most complex literary figures. In the process, he reveals a Faulkner who is powerful, vulnerable, real--every bit as fascinating as the characters he created. Anyone who has ever tarried in Yoknapatawpha County will find this a sensitive and readable account of the novelist's struggles in art and life. In his new preface, Minter locates his biography in relation to the changes in the literary critical landscape during the 1980s and discusses its departures from New Critical tenets about the relationship between authors' lives and their works. "An excellent book . . . It sets forth, often very sensitively, the elements of Faulkner's personality that make the fictional universe of Yoknapatawpha County assume the forms it takes in the major novels."--Louis D. Rubin, Jr."One emerges from reading [Minter's book] with a fresh understanding of Faulkner both as man and writer, with feelings of sympathy and, even more, admiration."--Richard Gray, Times Higher Education Supplement"The great virtue of David Minter's book is that he knows that the question of who a man was is less interesting than that of whom he wished to become . . . It is in the poems and the novels that we can trace the self to which Faulkner aspired."--Lachlan Mackinnon, Times Literary Supplement

Essays, Speeches and Public Letters (Books)
An essential collection of William Faulkner&#8217;s mature nonfiction work, updated, with an abundance of new material.<b> <br/></b><br/>This unique volume includes Faulkner&#8217;s Nobel Prize acceptance speech, a review of Hemingway&#8217;s <b>The Old Man and the Sea</b> (in which he suggests that Hemingway has found God), and newly collected gems, such as the acerbic essay &#8220;On Criticism&#8221; and the beguiling &#8220;Note on A Fable.&#8221; It also contains eloquently opinionated public letters on everything from race relations and the nature of fiction to wild-squirrel hunting on his property. This is the most comprehensive collection of Faulkner&#8217;s brilliant non-fiction work, and a rare look into the life of an American master.

Thinking of Home: William Faulkner's Letters to His Mother and Father, 1918-1925 (Books)
"How often have I lain beneath rain on a strange roof, thinking of home," says Darl Bundren in William Faulkner's <I>As I Lay Dying</I>. How much Faulkner himself is speaking may be suggested by this moving collection of nearly 150 letters. Written during his twenties, these letters describe Faulkner's first encounters with the North ("...I made my first subway trip yesterday. The experience showed me that we are not descended from monkeys, as some say, but from lice."); his brief World War I military service, which grew in the retelling; the productive New Orleans months with Sherwood Anderson; and his first trip to Europe, with cold autumn days in Paris ("Good thing the Lord gave these folks wine--they rate a recompense of some kind for this climate.") Fascinating in themselves for their close observation of people and places, the letters also offer glimmers of <I>The Sound and the Fury</I> and other future works, as the young writer stores up characters, settings, and events that will re-emerge, transformed, int the great novels of his maturity. Never before published, these letters are from the Faulkner collection at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
