Faulkner

Undergraduate

The course will focus on Faulkner's fiction of the American South: its haunted culture, its racism, its legends. We will read The Sound and the Fury , As I Lay Dying , Absalom Absalom! , Light in August , selections from Go Down, Moses , and The Hamlet . Faulkner's place in the history of modernism will be a continuing concern, as will important critical readings of the novels.
