Toni Morrison once said of William Faulkner, “he had a gaze that was…sort of staring, a refusal-to-look-away.” In this unit, we consider the way Faulkner, arguably one of the most important writers of the twentieth century, confronts across his astonishing writings of the 1930s and 1940s the so-called “problem South,” especially in terms of the global plantation and its legacies. Alongside his works we will read other important U.S. southern texts—including by Black and Native American southern authors—that variously engage the racial matter of Faulkner’s opus. What happens to Faulkner’s South—and indeed to Faulkner—when we read him through the work of more recent southern authors?
