Faulkner and Gender

These thirteen original essays examine William Faulkner's texts in terms of their surprising range of gender portrayals. The collection explores such themes as the male homosocial urge ay the heart of warfare, the blurring of gender distinctions in Faulkner's "epicene” figures, and the function of cross-dressing as a form of defiance of traditional hierarchies.
