In his fiction he tested its tenets in the most startling and insightful ways.  What, then, did such contemporaries as Ernest Hemingway, Eudora Welty, and Walker Evans think of his work? How did his times affect and accept what he wrote?  \u003cem\u003eFaulkner and His Contemporaries\u003c\/em\u003e explores the relationship between the Nobel laureate, ensconced in his \"\"postage stamp of native soil,\"\" and the world of letters within which he created his masterpieces.  In this anthology, essays focus on such topics as how Faulkner's literary antecedents (in particular, Willa Cather and Joseph Conrad) influenced his writing, his literary\/aesthetic feud with rival Ernest Hemingway, and the common themes he shares with fellow southerners Welty and Evans.  Several essays examine the environment in which Faulkner worked. Deborah Clarke concentrates on the rise of the automobile industry. W. Kenneth Holditch shows how the city of New Orleans acted as a major force in Faulkner's fiction, and Grace Elizabeth Hale examines how the civil rights era of Faulkner's later career compelled him to deal with his ideas about race and rebellion in new ways.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52621136265496,"sku":"9781604735444","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/faulkner-and-his-contemporaries-paperback-softback-9781604735444","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
