Faulkner'S Imperialism: Space, Place, And The Materiality Of Myth (Southern Literary Studies)

In FaulknerÆs Imperialism, Taylor Hagood explores two staples of FaulknerÆs world: myth and place. Using an interdisciplinary approach to examine economic, sociological, and political factors in FaulknerÆs writing, he applies postcolonial theory, cultural materialism, and the work of the New Southernists to analyze how these themes intersect to encode narratives of imperialism and anti-imperialism. The resulting discussion highlights the deeply embedded imperial impulses underpinning not just Yoknapatawpha and Mississippi, but the Midwest, the Caribbean, France, and a host of often-overlooked corners of the Faulknerian map. One of the few books that considers the broad geographic canvas evoked in the famed writerÆs work, Faulkner's Imperialism moves beyond South-versus-North paradigms to encompass all the spaces within FaulknerÆs created cosmos, addressing their interrelationships in a precise, holistic way.
