I've built up a considerable collection of Faulkner posts, but here is another. I really enjoyed Go Down, Moses, and have finished it since my own personal bear adventure. I have to agree with Sherry Chandler's comment on that post: Go Down Moses is my favorite Faulkner. From the hunter mysticism of "The Bear" through all of the awful history of the Beauchamp family, this is Faulkner ringing his very best changes and using his full range of literary skill. Contrary to what most people think, Faulkner could write effectively in many different styles.
I've found a few more interesting Faulkner discussions since I last posted a list.
- Internet Public Library's Literary Criticism Collection for Faulkner. This resource is the work of The Internet Public Library. The IPL was founded by a class at the University of Michigan's School of Information, and Michigan SI students almost exclusively generated its content and managed the Ask a Question reference service. On January 1, 2007, the IPL moved to Drexel University's College of Information Science and Technology. Now, a consortium of colleges and universities with programs in information science is developing and maintaining the IPL.
- Google Book Search has a significant portion of A Reader's Guide to William Faulkner: The Short Stories by Edmond Loris Volpe (2004) readable on line--enough for me to find it much more interesting than most of the "help me cheat on my homework" analyses that make up most of the Faulkner links I've visited. I'm currently working through the Collected Stories of William Faulkner.
