These ten essays from the annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, held in 1989 at the University of Mississippi, explore the religious themes in William Faulkner's fiction. The papers published here conclude that the key to religious meaning in Faulkner may be that his texts focus not so much on God but on a human aspiration of the divine.

A must have for the serious Faulkner scholar,
By
This review is from: Faulkner and Religion (Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha) (Paperback)
This little known volume comprises one of the few collections of how religion impacted Faulkner's literature, and how important understanding religion's impact on the South is to the understanding of Southern history and its literature. This collection is a series of lectures given at the 16th Annual Yoknapatawpha Conference sponsored by the University of Mississippi in 1989, and includes papers by the likes of Alfred Kazin, Charles Reagan Wilson, Richard King, Glenn Meeter, Virginia V. Hlavsa, Doreen Fowler and Evans Harrington on a diverse range of subject material within the discipline of religion and literature: William Faulkner and the Southern Religious Culture, the God of Defeat by Kazin, Quentin as Redactor: Biblical Analogy in Faulkner's "Absalom! Absalom!" and the Crucifixion in "Light in August" among other thought provoking papers. This is a must have for any serious student of Faulkner or the serious student of Religion and Literature.
