Few would dispute today that William Faulkner belongs among the front ranks of literary modernists, though he was not typically viewed in those terms when publishing his major works. But what sort of modernist-or modernists-was he? This collection examines the who, what, where, when, and how of Faulkner's modernism: its characters and cohort, its key subjects and themes, its locations and periodization, and its defining aesthetic strategies.
The essays place Faulkner in dialogue with global modernists such as Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Marcel Proust, and Richard Wright. Contributors explore his fascination with modern objects and architecture; his experiments in aviation and adaptation to avant-garde theater; the impact of modernity on childhood, family, and nation; his critique of eugenics, Fordism, and Taylorism; his phenomenology of race; and his movement from "high" to "late" modernism. They also question the very utility of the term "modernism" when applied to Faulkner's singular art. Faulkner's Modernisms offers a bracing reappraisal of one of the twentieth century's most challenging and idiosyncratic writers.
