LIT 499-01 William Faulkner and Modernism
Instructor: Bernard Bearer
I consider Faulkner to be the greatest American novelist. In an effort to understand his work as a modernist we will study five of his novels (The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom, and The Hamlet). In the process we will explore specifically the South of Faulkner’s time and the artistry of his novels.
