These essays examine issues across the wide arc of Faulkner's
extraordinary career, from his aesthetic apprenticeship in the
visual arts, to late-career engagements with the Cold War, the
civil rights movement, and beyond, to the place of death in his
artistic vision and the long, varied afterlives he and his writings
have enjoyed in literature and popular culture. Contributors
deliver stimulating reassessments of Faulkner's first novel,
Soldiers' Pay; his final novel, The Reivers; and much of the
important work between. Scholars explore how a broad range of elite
and lowbrow cultural forms--plantation diaries, phonograph records,
pulp magazines--shaped Faulkner's capacious imagination and how his
works were translated into such media as film and modern dance.
Essays place Faulkner's writings in dialogue with those of such
fellow twentieth-century authors as W. E. B. Du Bois, Ernest
Hemingway, Richard Hall, and Jayne Anne Phillips; locate his work
in relation to African American intellectual currents and Global
South artistic traditions; and weigh the rewards as well as the
risks of dislodging Faulkner from the canonical position he
currently occupies. While Faulkner studies has cultivated an image
of the novelist as a neglected genius who toiled in obscurity, a
look back fifty years to the final months of the author's life
reveals a widely traveled and celebrated artist whose significance
was framed in national and international as well as regional terms.
Fifty Years after Faulkner bears out that expansive view,
reintroducing us to a writer whose work retains its ability to
provoke, intrigue, and surprise a variety of readerships.
