William Faulkner and the Materials of Writing examines the many
physical texts in Faulkner's novels and stories from letters and
telegrams to Bibles, billboards, and even the alphabetic shape of
airport runways. Current investigations in print culture, book
history, and media studies often emphasize the controlling power of
technological form; instead, this book demonstrates how media
should be understood in the context of its use. Throughout
Faulkner's oeuvre, various kinds of writing become central to
characters forming a sense of the self as well as bonds of
intimacy, while ideologies of race and gender connect to the body
through the vehicle of writing. This book combines close reading
analysis of Faulkner's fiction with the publication history of his
works that together offer a case study about what it means to live
in a world permeated by media.
