Summary

WILLIAM FAULKNER, WILLIAM JAMES, AND THE AMERICAN PRAGMATIC TRADITION pairs the writings of America's most intellectually challenging modern novelist, William Faulkner, and the ideas of America's most revolutionary modern philosopher, William James to demonstrate that Faulkner's writing is deeply connected to the emergence of pragmatism as an intellectual doctrine and as a cultural force in the early twentieth century. With its creative coupling of James's philosophy and Faulkner's art, Evans's lively, engaging book makes a bold contribution to Faulkner studies and studies of southern literature.

Author Biography
