From the rear cover: "Although he belonged to an American generation of writers deeply influenced by the high modernist revolt 'against nature' and against the self-imposed limits of realism to a palpable world, William Faulkner reveals throughout his works an abiding sensitivity to the natural world. He writes of the big woods, of animals, and of the human body as a 'ground of being' that art and culture can neither transcend nor completely control. The eleven essays that make up this volume, including a paper written by the acclaimed novelist William Kennedy, explore the place of 'the unbuilt world' in Faulkner's fiction. They give particular attention to the social, mythic, and economic significance of nature, to the complexity of racial identity, and to the inevitable clash of gender and sexuality. These essays were presented in 1996 as papers at the Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, held annually at the University of Mississippi.". First Printing of the First Edition. Soft Cover.

A True Likeness showcases the extraordinary photography of Richard Samuel Roberts (1880?1935), who operated a studio in Columbia, South Carolina, from 1920 to 1935. He was one of the few major African American commercial photographers working in the region during the first half of the twentieth century, and his images reveal the social, economic, and cultural realities of the black South and document the rise of a small but significant southern black middle class. The nearly two hundred photographs in A True Likeness were selected from three thousand glass plates that had been stored for decades in a crawl space under the Roberts home. The collection includes 'true likenesses' of teachers, preachers, undertakers, carpenters, brick masons, dressmakers, chauffeurs, entertainers, and athletes, as well as the poor, with dignity and respect and an eye for character and beauty. Thomas L. Johnson and Phillip C. Dunn received a 1987 Lillian Smith Book Award for their work on this book.
