Abstract

The paper will try to explore the contribution of William Faulkner to Modernism: his response to Ezra Pound’s imperative “Make it New”. It will summarize some of Faulkner’s most distinguished “modern innovations” in his mythological kingdom Yoknapatawpha – a cosmos of his own, which goes beyond the time he lived in and created them in. They will be illuminated from different critical perspectives with the idea to open a critical conversation on Steven Connor’s “Modernism after Postmodernism”, and to be closed with Stephen Ross’s “Modernism, Theory, and Responsible Reading.” A look backward at some English Department contributions to understanding the complex poetics of William Faulkner and Modernism will also be presented.
