Foreword This bibliography brings up through 2007 the listings of Faulkner criticism and scholarship in three earlier books, William Faulkner: An Annotated Checklist of Criticism (New York: David Lewis, 1972), Faulkner: An Annotated Checklist of Recent Criticism (Kent, OH: Kent State UP, 1983), and Faulkner in the Eighties: An Annotated Critical Bibliography (Methuen, NJ: Scarecrow Press, 1991). Coverage of the years 1988 and 1989 overlaps between the 1991 book and this one, which does not re-list items covered in the main sections of the earlier book. What has made the current project especially stimulating as well as, I hope, useful is that not only do Faulkner studies continue to flourish but also every major critical school and theoretical perspective has been brought to bear on his fiction in the last two decades. A review of Faulkner criticism almost becomes a microcosm of a review of literary study. There are nearly two hundred books listed in the first section, at least a hundred of which are original studies by one writer or collections of original essays on Faulkner. If criticism on Faulkner was more diverse in the 1980s than in the 1960s or 1970s, commentary of the last decade and a half is even richer and more diverse than that. It reflects the first broadly based, deeply embedded, and well-assimilated incorporation in Faulkner scholarship and criticism of feminist, poststructuralist, rhetorical, and ideological theory as well as cultural studies. There is no question that John Matthews, Eric Sundquist, Lawrence Schwartz, and others changed the course of Faulkner criticism in the 1980s, but the general level of Faulkner studies has been more sophisticated, not without also a great deal of wrong-headedness, in the last two decades. Among individual novels, The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom! continue to receive the most attention and, not surprisingly, continue to yield fresh insights. Go Down, Moses is close behind, and Light in August, As I Lay Dying, and Sanctuary also have over a hundred commentaries listed here. Recent years have seen increased attention to I f I Forget Thee, Jerusalem (The Wild Palms) and to the Snopes novels. The short stories are receiving more attention than before, with more than a half dozen dedicated books on them since 1989 by individual scholars or as essay collections. My basic format remains the same. There are sections for books, for items on individual novels and on short works, for more general critical, biographical, and bibliographical studies, and for other materials including reviews of books on Faulkner and doctoral dissertations. Reviews are limited to those in scholarly journals except for a few longer journalistic reviews. Items are numbered continuously, with

Foreword
those book chapters which cover individual works also being listed with the works. Items on short stories that have had their primary identity in connection to a novel in which they appear, such as the stories in The Unvanquished and Go Down, Moses, are listed with the novel. Items on a story that may appear in a different form in a novel but had a separate identity as a magazine story, such as "Spotted Horses," "Barn Burning," and "Wash," are listed separately under the story not the novel. Criticism on poetry, essays, miscellaneous prose, and other works is all listed in one section chronologically. There is no criticism in other languages listed this time. International criticism is now prolific and requires scholars working closely with materials particularly in several Asian, European, and Latin American countries to produce reliable checklists. At the end there is a list of a few items from before 1988 not listed in Faulkner in the Eighties, but warranting acknowledgment. Then there is a list of "Late Additions" from 2006 and 2007 that I received after completing the main text. Even that, however, did not pick up, for example, the Summer 2007 issue of Mississippi Quarterly, which arrived late in 2008 with nine new articles and two review-essays on Faulkner. "Late Additions" also includes three 1996 essays on Absalom, Absalom! mistakenly left out of the text. Even with the greatest care, however, one may find a significant omission right before going to press. For me it was Faulkner's Mississippi by Willie Morris and William Eggleston (Birmingham: Oxmoor House, 1990), so I mention it here. I appreciate the help provided by Gwen Arthur and her splendid staff at the Robert H. Goddard Library of Clark University. My wife Kay has been of tremendous help in preparing the manuscript. It could not have been done without her assistance. Shirley Granlund and Stacie Beland helped a great deal in gathering materials for my use. For the assistance I received from all of them I am grateful. John E. Bassett Clark University Worcester, MA
Introduction For many decades now, William Faulkner has attracted more critical and scholarly attention than just about any other American author, and in recent years his fiction has been fertile territory for critics using every traditional and every poststructuralist perspective in the profession. No matter how far we go in decentering the author and the "work" and focusing on "how" not "what" a text means, and the circumstances of its production and influence, scholars and theorists over and over return to the strongest writers and richest texts. Recent trends in literary study have somewhat reduced the role of canonicity in the ranking of research topics, but Faulkner's fiction remains important to the profession and to many readers. He wrote several very strong novels and in the eyes of those who still use such terms remains one of the great modem novelists. His fiction provides richly ambivalent potential for study of race, gender, and class issues in America. It also invites comparative study with the important postwar Latin American fiction and, because of the South's peculiar role in American history, with postcolonial literatures. It also is a useful territory for studying the complex transitions between realism, modernism, and postmodemism. At the same time, the "Faulkner industry" has remained prolific and the annual "Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha" conference in Oxford, Mississippi, continues to be successful. That annual gathering balances papers that engage a popular audience of Faulkner readers with papers that present new, and often sophisticated, perspectives on Faulkner's work. The resulting collections of essays always have several insightful pieces. Through the same period a series of international conferences, including recent ones sponsored by the University of Rennes, have led to volumes with a number of challenging essays. Then, of course, there are from time to time collections of new essays on a major novel or collections of older articles such as Linda Wagner-Martin's Six Decades of Faulkner Criticism. The Faulkner Journal since the mid- 1980s has been the outlet for important work on Faulkner, and the Mississippi Quarterly continues to publish special Faulkner issues just about every year. Faulkner scholars have produced a great deal of special material helpful to researchers and teachers. The 1990s saw projects to publish concordances and annotations for Faulkner's books, and these followed soon after a forty-four-volume manuscript publication project. Noel Polk was a central figure in these projects but also has written some of the very best criticism. He combines meticulous textual skills with critical insights informed by psychoanalytic theory and awareness of the

best ideological criticism. More recent series on Faulkner include a set of study guides published by Twayne, a set of line-by-line commentaries and glossaries published by the University Press of Mississippi, encyclopedia-companions, and M. Thomas Inge's large collection of the original book reviews of Faulkner's work. Finally there are collections of essays, and even a dedicated journal, on teaching Faulkner. As with almost any body of criticism over the last two decades, original Faulkner criticism has been heavily marked by commentary on race, gender, and class. It is marked by several continuums. One is defined by the extent to which the critic is working out of an ideological, Marxian, or New Historical framework. On gender issues the continuum may be characterized by the relative influence of Lacan, Kristeva, Cixous, and Irigaray, or the extent to which a critic is viewed as operating out of an "essentialist" framework. Another line is one that runs from a by-and-large justification of Faulkner on issues of gender, class, and race, with readings that show him truly on the side of the angels; to readings that recognize and credit Faulkner's radical insights into social issues but argue that he inscribes conservative values in his fiction while at the same time destabilizing and undermining traditional attitudes on gender and race; to readings that, while according him major cultural significance, consider him an unworthily canonized giant. Given the profession's struggle to reconcile its roles as priest and scientist, and given the ambivalences created by poststructuralist theory in conjunction with strong resilient literary works, that diversity is not surprising. Faulkner remains one of the most rewarding arenas in which to engage not just literary issues but broader social and psychological and cultural concerns of the new century. Before turning to criticism of the fiction, it may be usefbl to note that Faulkner biographies continue to appear. In 1993 Joel Williamson published William Faulkner and Southern History, whose major contribution is the most complete research on historical background of the Falkners and especially the Butlers, as well as evidence about an African American wing of the family. The following year Richard Gray brought out The Life of William Faulkner, probably the best study that can be characterized as an intellectual biography. Two books by James Watson, who had in 1987 written on letters in Faulkner's novels, one on early family letters (1992) and one on Faulkner's "self-presentation" (2000), added a dimension to our understanding of the life as well as the works. So did Lothar Honnighausen's splendid 1997 study Faulkner: Masks and Metaphors, the most probing work on Faulkner's continual donning of various masks and personae. Honnighausen analyzes

these not simply as psychological factors but also as deliberate rhetorical ploys. More recently Jay Parini, a successful writer and critic but not a player in previous Faulkner discourse, has produced a most readable, insightful, and sensible overview, without much new information but hard to fault as a one-volume life to recommend to the general reader. Since then Thomas Inge has published a very concise biography and Lisa Hickman a book on the relationship between Faulkner and Joan Williams. Joseph Blotner's one-volume version of his biography, moreover, was republished by Vintage Books in 1991 and by the University Press of Mississippi in 2005. Also over the last decade and a half have appeared Don Doyle's study of Lafayette County and Faulkner as well as various collections of photographs and other materials related to Faulkner's life. Finally, one should note that a few critical studies such as Daniel Singal's book on Faulkner as modernist are based on biographical research as well as critical reflection and try to add to an understanding of Faulkner's life and career in the way that Judith Sensibar's work on the poetry and early prose so successfully did in the 1980s. So now far more is known about Faulkner himself, his life and his region, than twenty years ago. More is also known about the ways that race, gender, and class play diverse roles in literary production and literary meaning, and more is known about the diverse ways one can understand a piece of fiction, particularly one marketed successfully to students and the public in this century and the last. While earlier studies were done on Faulkner's women characters, since 1990 gender-centered criticism with a strong theoretical influence has been having a much greater impact on Faulkner studies. It has gone beyond a study of female characters to studies of masculinity, feminized males, sexual preferences, Faulkner's own gender concerns, the overlap with racial themes, and the patriarchal dimensions of Faulkner's world and its discourse and language. One book-length clarion call to rethink gender and Faulkner was Minrose Gwin's 1990 study, The Feminine and Faulkner, which drew heavily on ideas of Lacan. It emphasized the disruptive force, at times both troubling and healthy, of female characters such as Rosa Coldfield in patriarchal worlds and patriarchal fictive structures. In 1994 Deborah Clarke's Robbing the Mother, influenced by Irigaray and Kristeva, drew on a model of "gendered language" that helped Clarke also explore the disruptive power of the female in a male-dominated world, again seeing Faulkner as both inscriber and critic of patriarchy. The same year Diane Roberts, in Faulkner and Southern Womanhood, traced Faulkner's genius at break-

Introduction
ing down traditional male-female binary categories and stock figures such as the "Mammy" and the "tragic mulatta." In 1997 Doreen Fowler's Lacanian study Faulkner: The Return of the Repressed insightfully argued that marginalized female, and black, figures often represent a return of repressed meanings and "forbidden desires" in Faukner's works. Such books helped change the way scholars discuss gender and related issues in the work of Faulkner, and indeed of other writers, but the development has been more broadly based. Dozens of articles have had as great of an impact as the books. Susan Donaldson has been especially probing of Faulkner's own obsession with masculinity and with dangerous women, and of his ambivalence on gender issues as he blurs gender boundaries but is horrified by the implications of the blurring. Anne Goodwyn Jones has written effectively on oedipal dimensions, on patterns of gender-based resistance, and on patterns of penetration. Gail Mortimer has been insightful on Faulkner's "masculine" cognitive and narrative style, his concern with control. Judith Bryant Wittenberg, Carolyn Porter, Evelyn Schreiber, Noel Polk, and others have written well on related themes. John Duvall, whose 1990 book focuses on marginalized couples in Faulkner, brings fresh insights into homosexual relationships and the role of women in the novels. Race, like gender, was a theme in Faulkner studies long ago. Recent commentary has perhaps not drawn on as rich of a new theoretical context as commentary focused on gender, but it does overlap with new materialist and ideological work. Thadious Davis continues to be a major voice on racial issues in Faulkner's fiction, and her recent book on Go Down, Moses (2003), which revolves not around Isaac or Lucas but Tomey's Turl, forces readers to rethink not only Faulkner's intentions but the longer term implications of the text. Erik Dussere's Balancing the Books: Faulkner, Morrison, and the Economies of Slavery (2003) is a remarkable study of how tropes and traditions deriving from slavery take on aesthetic forms in the work of two major modem writers. Theresa Towner's Faulkner on the Color Line (2000) builds on Faulkner's awareness that he could not convincingly present a black person's perspective and on his resulting strategy to focus on the cultural formation and maintenance of racial identities. Patricia McKee (1999) builds on a foundation of critical race studies and draws significant comparisons between Faulkner and both Morrison and Henry James. She also provided some of the first insights into race and Faulkner coming out of the new interest in studies of "whiteness," a topic recently featured in a special issue of the Faulkner Journal. Barbara Ladd has written very well on Twain, Cable, and Faulkner and their

handling of color-line issues. Discussing relationships between the fictions of Morrison and Faulkner has become an industry unto itself. Philip Weinstein, a critic very poststructuralist in his assumptions yet engaged in a deeply personal way with both writers, has, like Dussere, published a whole book on the topic. Carol Kalmerten and others edited a collection of essays on Faulkner and Morrison, and there are dozens of other articles as well as dissertations. Meanwhile, particularly in studies of Light in August, Absalom, Absalom!, Go Down, Moses, and Intruder in the Dust the ambivalences of Faulkner on race are explored with characters like Rider, Lucas, Joe Christmas, and Charles Bon almost seeming like a palimpsest against which a critic can redefine his or her own confrontations with race and art. Race, like gender, is a significant factor in ideological criticism, which otherwise brings social class, economic, and labor issues to the forefront. In the late 1980s Lawrence Schwartz forced a rethinking of the process by which Faulkner after World War I1 became a canonical and even the canonical American novelist. While his arguments about the role of New Critical conservatism, postwar imperialism, and political forces seemed to some readers imbalanced and over-argued, the trail of evidence in Schwartz's book made even traditionalists rethink how literary institutions function and change and how books rise and fall in status. The dialogue on Morrison and Faulkner, noted above, may even imply that Morrison's ascendancy, like Faukner's, has been tied both to the strength of her works and to the political contexts of marketing them and her. The most probing ideological student of Faulkner over the last decade or so has probably been Richard Godden. His Fictions of Labor (1997) not only grounds Faulkner's work in economic changes in the South over two or three generations, "a period of radical labor transformation" that lies behind the "generative social trauma" in the fiction. It also combines a materialist perspective, drawing on Benjamin, Hegel, and others, with a sophisticated understanding of other poststructuralist models. He provides, for example, fresh insights into Rosa's chapters by putting them in a context of a slave-based and racebased economy, and into several novels by noting the slippage between gender, racial, and labor thematics. Other critics connect a materialist approach with either contemporary or traditional methodologies, but when Godden and Polk combined on a radical rereading of Ike's "ledger" sequence in Go Down, Moses, the result was a stunning example of the potential of collaborative criticism. Kevin Railey's 1999 book Natural Aristocracy grounds his study of Faukner's authorial ideology in a somewhat materialist framework

Introduction
but mostly to build his argument that Faulkner moves from a paternalistic conservatism, because of the impact of economic liberalism, toward a personal philosophy close to that of Jefferson's "natural aristocracy." Issues of social class have been well addressed by Cheryl Lester and Barbara Ladd, although Ladd's focus is more often on dynastic and family issues than labor. There are also young scholars doing strong work on class issues, for example, Tony Fabijancic, who shows the influence of Frederic Jameson and also the ability to move across art as well as literature. Ted Atkinson's 2005 Faulkner and the Great Depression is built on a more traditional methodology but perceptively analyzes Faulkner's ambivalence on key conflicts of the Depression and New Deal period. While the prevalence over the last two decades of concerns about class, race, and gender in literature leads a reviewer to categorize commentary in such pigeon-holes, the best of the studies do not really lend themselves to such simplification. Some critics do ride a hobby-horse, but the best Faulkner students have been aware of new theories and methodologies, able to do careful scholarship, and capable of choosing the tools they need to solve the problem they are addressing. Some work simply suffers from lack of awareness of existing scholarship, a recurring theme of the annual essays on Faulkner in American Literary Scholarship. Some of the most challenging work does not receive uniformly positive reviews, but the trail of reviews of major books on Faulkner is a significant part of the relevant discourse in Faulkner studies. For years I have thought, for example, that Philip Weinstein and Karl Zender are two of the most thoughtful and original readers of Faulkner. Their perspectives on racial themes, the personal element in criticism, and theory, however, are often in conflict but actually in usefully engaging ways. Weinstein, moreover, has been especially insightful on the issue of "subjectivity" in Faulkner's fiction (as in Faulkner's Subject, 1992), drawing on Lacan but particularly clarifying the limitations in the author's characterization of the "Other"; but he also writes well on race, Faulkner and Morrison, ecological themes, oedipal patterns, and, recently, on "Unknowing" as a trait of high modernism, which returns him to issues of subjectivity. Charles Hannon's recent Faulkner and the Discourses of Culture (2005) also probes the "production of subjectivity," drawing on Foucault and Bakhtin, but in a discursive approach focusing on issues of discourse. A decade earlier, Ineke Bockting's Character and Personality in the Novels of William Faulkner (1995) drew on Kristeva, Homey, Klein, and psycholinguistics to address issues connecting language, discourse, and the creation of subjectivity.
Introduction

Language-centered and rhetorical studies form a significant part of ongoing study of Faukner, but also circle us back to gender criticism and voice (as in Gwin and Clarke), racial studies (on voice and dialect), and materialist criticism (as in Godden's study of Benjy's language). The articles using ideas of Bakhtin or merely dropping his name, moreover, are too plentiful to count. Meanwhile Peter Lurie's Vision's Immanence: Faulkner, Film, and the Popular Imagination (2004) is the strongest of a number of attempts to explore how Faulkner both inscribes and critiques forms of popular culture of his day, and it reflects the growing importance of culture studies in Faulkner criticism. A recent book by Owen Robinson (Creating Yoknapatawpha, 2006) is not strictly speaking on language, but as he deals with the "interplay between the reading and writing processes" in constructing a "textual environment" he effectively combines reader-response, rhetorical and linguistic, and more formalistic methods. One recently published book with st times brilliant insights but positioned intellectually a generation ago-with readings influenced by Bachelard, Barthes, Burke, and early deconstruction theory-is William Rueckert's Faulkner from Within: Destructive and Generative Being in the Novels of William Faulkner (2004), a study Rueckert worked on for many years. Faulkner's place in modernism has been a continuing focus, including quite different books by Richard Moreland and Daniel Singal, and of course Lothar Htinnighausen, as well as several collections of essays on Faulkner and his contemporaries. More recently the connections, and disconnections, between Faulkner and postmodernism, as well as his position on a realism-modernism-postmodemism continuum, have become topical. Similarly the connections between Faulkner and postcolonial novelists, especially those in Latin America such as Garcia MArquez and Donoso and Asturias, who so enriched the postwar literary scene, have inspired much commentary. Edouard Glissant's creative book-length essay on confronting Faulkner has helped reshape our way of seeing such relationships. One might even say that among dissertations and published work there has recently been a noticeable trend toward criticism and scholarship that positions Faulkner in relation to other writers of his day and afterwards. Such studies may be comparative or focus on influences, may actually be intertextual or may call themselves such, and at times may emphasize ways in which later writers "rewrite" a Faulkner theme or pattern. While this particular project has not included the wealth of Faulkner criticism in other languages, a great deal of strong commentary by an international community of Faulkner scholars is available in English-by Asian scholar-critics especially but not only from Japan and

Introduction
Korea, as well as by others in Latin America and Europe. Good Faukner criticism for years has come from France and, of course, some of the theory influencing Faulkner has also. It is always striking when a French critic like Andre Bleikasten speaks out strongly against reductive over-theorizing of Faulkner's books, almost as if he were a neoconservative Southerner. Nonetheless, Bleikasten, Jacques Pothier, Franqois Pitavy, Nicole Moulinoux, and others have continued to add new dimensions to our understanding of Faulkner as have Lothar Hbnnighausen particularly and other German critics, and more recently a number of Italians and eastern Europeans such as Sonja Basic. Much of the best Faulkner criticism since 1990 has come from voices that were active in Faulkner studies in the 1980s, but strong new voices have joined the community and commentary on Faulkner has not slowed down. There are probably more excellent critics writing on Faulkner than on any other American writer. It is likely, however, that over the next two decades most of the best new contributions to Faulkner studies will come from scholars focusing not only on Faulkner's books but also on some larger literary or social context in which Faulkner's texts are significant parts. Books and articles published in 2007 look backward as well as forward. A watershed collection is A Companion to William Faulkner, edited by Richard Moreland as part of the Blackwell Companions to Literature Series. Some thirty-one essays explore contexts for the novels-historical and biographical, racial and sexual and ideological, contexts of genre and period-as well as new approaches to formal questions. Moreland includes several strong readings, by Don Kartiganer on A s I Lay Dying, John Carlos Rowe on Absalom, Absalom!, Evelyn Schreiber on the Snopeses, and Catherine Kodat, one of the best of the newer analysts of Faulkner, on Ifl Forget Thee, Jerusalem. Also with contributions are such insightful critics of Faulkner as Michael Zeitlin, Barbara Ladd, Cheryl Lester, Philip Weinstein, Lothar Hbnnighausen, Richard Godden, Susan Donaldson, Anne Goodwyn Jones, and Tom McHaney. There are also several of the newer voices including those with significant recent books like Peter Lurie, Jay Parini, Ted Atkinson, and Owen Robinson. Despite a steep price tag, it is a book Faulknerians will want to study. The Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Series added two volumes, one on Faulkner and Material Culture from the 2004 conference in Oxford and one called Faulkner 's Inheritance from the 2005 conference. Each one has several strong, insightful essays such as, in the first, Patsy Yaeger's on what she calls "Faulkner's trash aesthetic" and Jay Watson's on Light in August, and in the second Judith Sensibar's on

Estelle's influence on William's writing and Noel Polk's on Faulkner's sense of the past as something that only exists as a construction. Also in 2007 Godden brought out his second book on Faulkner, William Faulkner: An Economy of Complex Words, which brings together some of his best work on The Hamlet, Go Down, Moses, and A Fable. Barbara Ladd published a comparative study called Resisting History: Gender, Modernity, and Authorship in William Faulkner, Zora Neale Hurston, and Eudora Welty. It addresses the implications for three modern writers of "agency" and "writing" for women. Hosam Aboul-Ela published one of the first book-length postcolonial studies, Other South, putting Faulkner's fiction into a global context. Carolyn Porter brought out for Oxford a splendid critical introduction to Faulkner. More such works are coming, since Cambridge in 2008 has brought out Theresa Towner's Introduction to William Faulkner, and Blackwell plans to bring out an overview by John Matthews in 2009. There is even a new biography, by David Rampton, out in 2008, along with a collection of essays by Noel Polk and Merrill Skaggs's study of Cather and Faulkner. When the 2007 and 2008 lists are complete, doubtless there will be much more to report. Finally, students of Faulkner will also want to consult John B. Padgett's splendid web page, "William Faulkner on the Web."

Towner, Theresa M. Faulkner on the Color Line: The Later Novels. Jackson, M S : UP of Mississippi, 2000. A study of Faulkner's later novels as explorations of racial ideologies and cultural assumptions. Argues that while Faulkner knew he could not successfully present experience from a black person's perspective, he could again and again, and with an obsessive interest in narrative experimentation, unpack "how racial identity is formed and maintained" in a society. In "Faulkner's later career," race and art become "functions of one another."

Argues that performance is "the heightened mode of written expression that reassembles familiar experience in the forms and language of spectacle."

Terasawa, Mizuko. The Rape of the Nation and the Hymen Fantasy: Japan's Modernity, the American South, and Faulkner. Tr. Tomoko Kuribayashi. Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 2003. A rethinking of Faulkner written out of some anger with long-term American imperialism toward Japan, this criticizes not only the effect of "political correctness" on Faulkner studies but also the romantic "Galahad-complex" in America that sees American humanism as universal. Sees Faulkner as distinctly a southern, rather than an American, writer, one free of the bias of "universal humanism," but one connecting evil to sexual defilement and women.

Mandal, Somdatta. Reflections, Refractions and Rejections: Three American Writers and the Celluloid World. Leeds, England: Wisdom House, 2004. Studies "the interaction of film and fiction, both thematic and stylistic," in the age of modernism. Uses Faulkner, Fitzgerald, and Hemingway as the primary novelists for study. One chapter is called "William Faulkner: The 'Motion-Picture Doctor"' (3 19-32), but most discussion on Faulkner is about cinematic techniques in novels and stories, matters such as handling of time, juxtaposition, visual consciousness, and point of view.
157.
Parini, Jay. One Matchless Time: A Lve of William Faulkner. New York: Harper Collins, 2004. A very readable biography by a poet-critic, this brings narrative coherence to the period of Faulkner's maturing, to his Hollywood sojourns, and to his final years with due attention to his financial worries and alcohol problem. It portrays well the broad range of persons with whom Faulkner interacted but does not shed much new light on the novels themselves or address questions raised by recent critics.

An insightful set of hermeneutic readings, but readings whose first drafting goes back to the 1970s and are therefore informed by the ideas of Bachelard, Barthes, Burke, and Hillis Miller more than by recent theorists and recent Faulkner criticism. Focuses on "the selves that Faulkner created, and the extent to which they are destructive or generative, destroyed or victimized, redemptive or redeemed." Sees the late novels as all tied to "constructive social action" even when like the great earlier ones connecting "the searching action" with "coming to true knowledge."

The first is on the potency of the Sartoris legend as others attempt to "come to terms with the text that the Colonel has written." The second, drawing on Barthes, discusses the Sartoris text as a readerly one (unlike the Sutpen and Snopes texts) and argues that "it is the clash of the readerly-writerly relationship's instability and its presumed integrity that leads to the ultimate collapse of the Sartoris myth."

Drawing on ideas of Irigaray, this argues that the female characters are not unified figures but vary greatly from passage to passage, that a patriarchal critical tradition, focusing on male suffering even while making Caddy the absent center of the novel, has imposed a false unity on each of them.

Kartiganer, Donald M. "'Now I Can Write': Faulkner's Novel of Invention." In New Essays on The Sound and the Fury (#53; 1993), pp. 71-97.

The text is committed "to invention, to the creation of a text that . . . seeks to be itself, not the reflection of what we and our strategies of reading require it to be."

In the first, says that Dilsey is the most ambivalent and conflicted of Faulkner's "Mammy" figures, one who subverts "the reductive stereotyping of the black mother" but also reinforces "the discourses that deny its liberty."

Analyzes the connected binaries of race and sexuality in the novel, the relationship of homosexuality to blackness as Other. Sees Quentin and Shreve's theory of "miscegenation as the 'truth"' in the novel as a tactic to "locate the Otherness" in the past and contain it rather than to have homosexuality be the truth that frightens them and "destabilizes the powerful cultural force of whiteness."

Wilderness in Faulkner's 'The Bear."' Nordlit 1 (Spring 1997): 165-84. Beginning with the copulation scene and emphasizing connections in the story between thematics of sex and wilderness, this argues that the story is more ironic than pastoral, that Ike is complicit in the abuse of nature and women and blacks, and that the story probes "the paradox that those who profess the deepest love for the Southern wilderness" are the ones "complicit in its destruction." 1234.

Considering the story's "debt to epic and romance topoi," as for example in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, examines how "these elements hnction in the tale to separate its narrative action from the figures that attempt to ascribe meaning to it," to show the "gulf between literal action and figurative meaning."

"'We're After Just a Murderer, Not a Lawyer': Gavin Stevens in Intruder in the Dust." Forensic Fictions (#54; 1993), pp. 109-39.

1323.
Gray, Richard. "Watching the Detectives: Intruder in the Dust." The Life of William Faulkner (#59; 1994), pp. 289303. Sees the novel as flawed by an inadequate connection between mystery plot and themes, with Lucas ending up as a figure of southern patriarchy not of the racial issues in the book.

Morris, Wesley. "Recovering the Teller in the Tale: An Unfinished Project." In Faulkner and the Artist (#81; 1996), pp. 141-60. Sees the novel as an example of Faulkner undertaking a "postmodem" effort to reestablish the artist by presenting him as the storyteller who can hear "the already told," the "often repressive, social narrative," and envision "how it may be retold in order to foreground the ethical and political." Estes, Ann Marie. "The Southern Way: A Comparison of A Gathering of Old Men and Intruder in the Dust." Publications of the Arkansas Philological Association 23, i (Spring 1997): 33-4 1.

Discusses the complex "interaction between the novel and its readers" as well as the book's multiple perspectives-Gavinls middle-class Arnoldian humanism, a modernist conservative skepticism reflected at times in Chick's mind, and Lucas's urging of an "analytic, transferential learning."

Schmitz, Neil. "Faulkner and the Post-Confederate." In Faulkner in Cultural Context (#97; 1997), pp. 241-62.

Also included in Faulkner and the Discourses of Culture (#171; 2005), pp. 131-56. Explores the process of Clarence Brown's filming of the novel as it involved, for example, a way for Oxford to fashion for the nation "a white, middle-class identity for itself' and a way to continue a "dialectic of dependency and disavowal" true of earlier films on race relations in the South. 1329.
Jie, Tao. "Growing Up in the South: Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust." In Faulkner: Achievement and Endurance (#112; 1998), pp. 197-207. Says that the book's strength lies in the story of Chick's maturing, implicitly beyond Gavin's prejudices, not in a study of the racial issues themselves.

Li, Stephanie. "Intruder in the Dust from Novel to Movie: The Development of Chick Mallison." Faulkner Journal 16, i-ii (Fall 2000-Spring 200 1): 105-18. Says that the novel "is more suggestive of an independent black voice" and agency than the film, which "consolidates white narrative power." Even the novel, however, relies "upon the creation of black characters as abstractions constructed by white psychic need."

Schreiber, Evelyn Jaffe. "'The past is never dead. It's not even past': The Emergent Culture in Faulkner's Black Voices." Subversive Voices (#137; 2001), pp. 52-76.

Schreiber, Evelyn Jaffe. "'The Sum of Your Ancestry': Cultural Context and Intruder in the Dust." In Teaching Faulkner (#134; 2001), pp. 163-70.

Revised as "'You Want My Life?': The Debts of History" in Balancing the Books (#148; 2003), pp. 63-96. Argues that Faulkner conservatively portrays racial issues "in the language of debt and repayment" and adherence to a "debt of honor" as an imperative to southern whites, as against a debt based on a business model, which might even justify affmative action.

with Chick's seeking of "freedom to act within it." In his new aesthetic of engagement, Faulkner does become a propagandist, a confused thinker, and at times quite conservative, but he also "questions his own assumptions and struggles against them." 1341.

Kartiganer, Donald M. "Faulkner's Comic Narrative of Community." In A Gathering of Evidence (#154; 2004), pp. 131-50.

Moreland, Richard C. "Imprisonment, Rape, and Abortion Reconsidered in Requiem for a Nun." Faulkner and Modernism (#16; 1990)' pp. 194-238.

Wittenberg, Judith Bryant. "Temple Drake and La Parole pleine." Mississippi Quarterly 48, iii (Summer 1995): 421-41. Relates Faulkner's novel to an essay by Lacan contemporary with it, two responses to "the problematic of language" so topical at that time. Faulkner's "bleak and intriguing novel functions almost as a negative, if proleptic, reading of the Lacanian theory" behind the essay, for it shows "an inadequately monitored analytic situation" and the failure of the subject to achieve "laparole pleine."

Also comments on Cecelia Farmer's role.
1378.
Ladd, Barbara. '"Philosophers and Other Gynecologists': Women and the Polity in Requiem for a Nun." Mississippi Quarterly 52, iii (Summer 1999): 483-501.

Folks, Jeffrey J. "Faulkner's Requiem for the Past." Southern & Caribbean Narrative from Faulkner to Naipaul(#169; 2005), pp. 43-56. Sees the book as "Faulkner's meditation on morality," a conservative "dirge devoted to the decline of freedom in America," and yet an argument for "principles that possess a grounding outside of history."

Drawing on Barthes, argues that Flem turns monuments into footprints as he creates a mythic framework for his progress.

He is more pathetic as a Tory conservative, and in his downfall "myth itself becomes yet another fallen monument."

Sees a major shift in Faulkner's sense of time in The Hamlet and continuing through the trilogy and other novels. It is less fatalistic, less inviting of solipsism, more open to redemption. Faulkner, like Augustine, seems to intuit that "the apprehension of history, the attention to the present, and hope for the future are all the work of the mind."

It also deals with ways in which Faulkner's "modernist narrative obstructs the story he violence whose would have his reader hear"-meaning is not articulated, the community's "melancholic unwillingness to recognize loss," and the question whether "traditional mourning rituals" are any longer "adequate to new forms of violence."

Kartiganer, Donald M. "'By It I Would Stand or Fall': Life and Death in As I Lay Dying." In A Companion to William Faulkner (#2947; 2007)' pp. 429-44. Drawing on Freud's ideas about Eros and the death instinct, this explores underlying tensions between Addie and Darl and Anse, but also connects the novel-unusual in stripping away Faulkner's typical obsession with memory, race, and history-to Faukner's situation at the time of writing the book.

Ladd, Barbara. "The Dynamo and the Virgin: Women, Modernity, and the Sublime in As I Lay Dying." Resisting History (#2946; 2007)' pp. 17-51. Relating the novel to tension between patriarchal traditionalism and modem individualism as well as changing roles of women, this argues that with "Addie, Faulkner establishes a very different narrative of the relationship of the male author to women and a new narrative of the relationship of women to language, writing, and authorship."

Hasratian, Avak. "The Death of Difference in Light in August." Criticism 49, i (Winter 2007): 55-84. Drawing on ideas of Giorgio Agamben and emphasizing patterns of food, eating, sex, and naming, this argues that the novel, which noticeably does not include Faulkner's usual patterns of kinship, "radically questions the human itself' as a category and "the cultural ground on which" the human "world is constituted: the biological life of the species."

Unlike that movie, the novel leaves the tragic events "traumatized" and less falsified.

Donaldson, Susan V. "Faulkner's Versions of Pastoral, Gothic, and the Sublime." In A Companion to William Faulkner (#2947; 2007), pp. 359-72. Shows how amid the importance of the Gothic and the pastoral in Faulkner's work and certainly Faulkner criticism, a struggle for the sublime governed his artistic ambition. From the romantic sublime with the motif of nympholepsy, it turned into the erotic sublime and then, in Light in August, into what can be called the "racial sublime."

Forter, Greg. "Faulkner, Trauma, and the Use of Crime Fiction." In A Companion to William Faulkner (#2947; 2007)' pp. 373-93.

In works like Intruder and "Knight's Gambit" the conventions govern form; in works like Absalom and Light in August they are "assimilated" and "dissolved" in a larger vision; in Sanctuary they are very visible but the novel is closer in impact to Light in August.

3054.
Lears, T. J. Jackson. "True and False Things: Faulkner and the World of Goods." In Faulkner and Material Culture (#2950; 2007), pp. 139-48. On Faulkner's anti-modem modernism, his "producerist" critique of mass consumer culture, his anthropological perspective on that culture, and his "vernacular" artistry through which he "sympathized with the longings embodied in things" and their "fetishlike power."

Polk, Noel. "Making 'Something Which Did Not Exist Before': What Faulkner Gave Himself." In Faulkner S Inheritance (#295 1; 2007), pp. 3-17. Drawing new connections between Faulkner and My Antonia, this explores the "middle distance" history (no blank page, like Cather's Midwest) that Faulkner inherited and with which he had to deal. Argues that "his work is an outright attack on sequence-history as a source of truth or even cognition," and that Faulkner provides a sense of fullness in a "now" that has a past never to be "recovered" except in the form of a construction.
