Faulkner and Love
This book is about the making of the writer William Faulkner. It is the first to inquire into the three most important women in his life—his black and white mothers, Caroline Barr and Maud Falkner, and the childhood friend who became his wife, Estelle Oldham. In this new exploration of Faulkner’s creative process, Judith L. Sensibar discovers that these women’s relationships with Faulkner were not simply close; they gave life to his imagination. …

Why d…

How much Faulkner himself is speaking may be suggested by this moving collection of nearly 150 letters. Written during his twenties, these letters describe Faulkner's first encounters with the North (...I made my first subway trip yesterday. The experience showed me that we are not descended from monkeys, as some say, but fr…

William Faulkner and the American Dilemma
Edith Wharton Reads the Bachelor Type

S. Eliot's I9I7 and I922 productions was distinctly negative.! Yet the creative springboard for Wharton's eighteenth novel, The Children, was her intimate knowledge and understanding of the emotional and ethical limitations of the Prufrockian sensibili…
