Faulkner's Imperialism

Meer over het boek

Exploring the themes of myth and place in Faulkner's work, Taylor Hagood employs an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the economic, sociological, and political dimensions of imperialism and anti-imperialism. Utilizing postcolonial theory and cultural materialism, he reveals the pervasive imperial impulses present not only in Yoknapatawpha and Mississippi but also across diverse regions like the Midwest and the Caribbean. By transcending traditional South-versus-North narratives, Hagood offers a comprehensive view of the interconnected spaces within Faulkner's literary universe.
