Gavin W. Jones
This essay explores Faulkner's early financial struggles with publication in context of the constellation of texts surrounding his short story "Spotted Horses" (1931). These various versions-some published, some unpublished drafts, some rewritten episodes in later novels-vary considerably in their attempts to represent the desperate poverty of an important family in the story: the Armstids. By developing an idea of textual "failure" that encompasses the various contradictions between Faulkner's depictions of the Armstids' special economic failure even among otherwise poor whites, the essay uncovers Faulkner's shifting attitudes toward the impact of money on human identity, personal relationships, and the creative process. Changes in plot detail and formal technique (especially narrative point of view) across different versions of a common story show how Faulkner's reaction to poverty varied from a haunting confusion to a recognition that his own aesthetic material, and economic livelihood, depended on the creativity of poor folk.

Faulkner's modernism founds its footing with his first great experimental novels and their use of interior monologue to meditate on Southern identity and the region's class ills.Following Sanctuary's 1931 publishing and the first studio contract it prompted, Faulkner's fiction altered, becoming more expansive and encompassing.This paper describes the broadened social and formal "scale" of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha novels and considers what role his encounter with the film medium played in this development.Faulkner's work had always betrayed his interest in pictorialism. Yet as several examples suggest, this tendency increased and broadened across his later career.This paper uses ideas from image theory such as W.J.T. Mitchell's "metapictures" to suggest a relationship between Faulkner's remunerations in Hollywood and the expanded lexical, syntactic, and formal workings-as well as the broadened historical and racial considerations-in his Post-Hollywood novels

This chapter discusses Faulkner's turn to short fiction around 1930 as evidence of his reckoning with the broad market pressures that would leave a powerful imprint on his entire literary career.Reading "Thrift" (1930), one of Faulkner's earliest stories to be published in a national magazine, as a complex meditation on the penetration of economic concerns into every corner of human existence, and considering the story's placement amid Faulkner's most creative years of work (during the early years of the Great Depression), the chapter seeks to demonstrate that a greater attention on the financial motives and constraints in Faulkner's life and work will illuminate many of these texts, and the economic and social histories in which they were produced, in complex ways.

G. Burgess
This chapter discusses the intertwined legacies of Mr. Earnest McEwen, Jr., the author's father, and his life-changing relationship with William Faulkner. As his benefactor, Faulkner paid for Mr. McEwen to attend Alcorn A&M College (now Alcorn University), transforming the trajectory of the McEwen family for all time. Faulkner's gift was given with no strings attached; he only asked that Mr. McEwen help someone else when he was able to do so. After Mr. McEwen's untimely death, the author's mother, Mildred Blackmon McEwen, gave her blessing to share the story about her husband's fateful encounter with Faulkner and their subsequent friendship. Infused with gratitude, this chapter lifts up two men who respected one another's dignity and humanity at a time in our nation's history when this behavior was at odds with the cultural, political, and social norms.

This essay examines the ways in which academics along with book industry insiders understood depressed rates of book buying and borrowing in the South. These were no idle concerns. During the 1930s, the south accounted for a little more than 7 percent of the nation's book purchases. High rates of poverty and illiteracy accounted for much of the problem, but not all. Those with a vested interest in fostering "book consciousness" in the region, including sociologist Howard Odum, librarian Louis Round Wilson, and editor William Couch, devised creative schemes to promote reading in the region. Not surprisingly, their efforts proved largely unsuccessful. As they quickly learned, those concerned solely with the bottom line were content to write the south off. The implications were considerable. As newspaper editor Jonathan Daniels ruefully observed, "books in the South, like cotton in the South, are produced for the export trade."
