Considering William Faulkner's representation of the structural
paradoxes of labour dependency in the Southern economy, from the
antebellum period through to the New Deal, this book seeks to link
the occlusive stylistics of Faulkner's writing to a generative
social trauma which constitutes its formal core. That trauma,
Godden argues, is a labour trauma, centered on the debilitating
discovery by the Southern owning class of its own production by
those it subordinates. By way of close textual analysis and careful
historical contextualization, Richard Godden produces a persuasive
account of the ways in which Faulkner's work rests on deeply
submerged anxieties about the legacy of violently coercive labour
relations in the American South.
