Go Down, Moses (1942) came to fruition during the Second World War,
was written during one of Faulkner's most traumatic periods, and
has fallen to critical neglect amid the vast scholarship on the
great Southern writer. In part, this collection aims to tilt the
balance, forcing the reader beyond critical commonplaces through
asking challenging questions. The five essays assembled here
explore the tensions of race and gender apparent throughout the
novel. Judith Sensibar approaches the work through Faulkner's
relationship with Caroline Barr, the black woman who was his
primary caretaker in life; Judith Wittenberg offers an ecological
reading; John T. Matthews redefines the novel as a 'Southern'
experience; Minrose Gwin focuses on the spaces in the text occupied
by black women characters; and Thadious M. Davis charts further
complications of the black-white relationships that lie at the
heart of the novel.
