His areas of study include the history of technology, human-computer interaction, and nineteenth-century and modern American literature. Klappentext "Highly recommended for Faulkner scholars, and for those readers interested in Bakhtinian approaches to literature." -- Arkansas Review "A handy guide to recent theory for all students of Faulkner's writing." -- The Southern Literary JournalCharles Hannon argues in this brilliant study that the language of Faulkner's fiction is replete with the voiced conflicts that shaped America and the South from the 1920s to 1950. Specifically, Hannon takes five contemporary debates -- in historiography, law, labor, ethnography, and film -- and relates them both to canonical and to less-discussed texts of Faulkner. He examines Faulkner's story cycle The Unvanquished, his detective fiction of the early 1930s, and the novels The Hamlet and Absalom, Absalom! Hannon concludes with a fascinating analysis of the filming of Intruder in the Dust in Faulkner's hometown of Oxford, Mississippi.Charles Hannon is Professor of Information Technology Leadership and Associate Dean of the Faculty at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania.
