The explosion of Faulkner’s work in the dozen-odd years between The Sound and the Fury and Go Down, Moses has no parallel in American literature. He explored the microtones of consciousness and conducted the most radical of experiments in narrative form. At the same time he made his "little postage stamp of native soil" in northern Mississippi stand for the world itself. This class examines the great novels of his Yoknapatawpha cycle, seeing the linked and always problematic issues of race, region and remembrance in terms of the forms he invented to deal with them. Restrictions: Juniors and seniors only. Enrollment limited to 12. Instructor permission required.
