Overview

What Faulkner once re-ferred to as his """"material, the South,"""" possesses the most substantive kind of reality - war and peace, wealth and poverty, race and sexual identity. Yet this reality is ultimately cultural, for it must be understood in terms of a way of life. The twelve essays in this volume, presented in 1995 at the University of Mississippi, trace some of the significant connections between Faulkner's fiction and its surrounding cultural life and show the ways in which the work of art and the cultural context combine to produce meaning. At the University of Mississippi Donald M. Kartiganer is William Howry Professor of Faulkner Studies, and Ann J. Abadie, who has coedited all volumes in the Faulkner Conference series, is Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture.
