Faulkner, Aviation, and Modern War frames William Faulkner's
airplane narratives against major scenes of the early 20th century:
the Great War, the rise of European fascism in the 1920s and 30s,
the Second World War, and the aviation arms race extending from the
Wright Flyer in 1903 into the Cold War era. Placing biographical
accounts of Faulkner's time in the Royal Air Force Canada against
analysis of such works as Soldiers' Pay (1926), "All the Dead
Pilots" (1931), Pylon (1935), and A Fable (1954), this book
situates Faulkner's aviation writing within transatlantic
historical contexts that have not been sufficiently appreciated in
Faulkner's work. Michael Zeitlin unpacks a broad selection of
Faulkner's novels, stories, film treatments, essays, book reviews,
and letters to outline Faulkner's complex and ambivalent
relationship to the ideologies of masculine performance and martial
heroism in an age dominated by industrialism and military
technology.
