About the Authors
  • William Faulkner remains one of the most important writers of the twentieth century, and Faulkner Studies offers up seemingly endless ways to engage anew questions and problems that continue to occupy literary studies into the twenty-first century, and beyond the compass of Faulkner himself. His corpus has proved particularly accommodating of a range of perspectives and methodologies that include Black studies, visual culture studies, world literatures, modernist studies, print culture studies, gender and sexuality studies, sound studies, the energy humanities, and much else. The fifteen essays collected in The New William Faulkner Studies charts these developments in Faulkner scholarship over the course of this new century and offers prospects for further interrogation of his oeuvre.

    • Draws on the most current movements in literary studies to situate and read Faulkner's writings anew
    • This volume is multidisciplinary in its reach and methodologies
    • Engages with anew a range of questions that occupy literary studies more broadly
    • Reminding readers of the pressing importance of Faulkner's fiction today, this volume help teachers and students think about him in our contemporary moment
