The essays in \u003ci\u003eFaulkner and Material Culture\u003c\/i\u003e provide a fresh understanding of the things Faulkner brought from the world around him to the one he created. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Charles S. Aiken surveys Faulkner's representation of terrain and concludes, contrary to established criticism, that to Faulkner, Yoknapatawpha was not a microcosm of the South but a very particular and quite specifically located place. Jay Watson works with literary theory, philosophy, the history of woodworking and furniture-making, and social and intellectual history to explore how \u003ci\u003eLight in August\u003c\/i\u003e is tied intimately to the region's logging and woodworking industries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Other essays in the volume include Kevin Railey's on the consumer goods that appear in \u003ci\u003eFlags in the Dust\u003c\/i\u003e. Miles Orvell discusses the Confederate Soldier monuments installed in small towns throughout the South and how such monuments enter Faulkner's work. Katherine Henninger analyzes Faulkner's fictional representation of photographs and the function of photography within his fiction, particularly in \u003ci\u003eThe Sound and the Fury\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLight in August\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAbsalom, Absalom!\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph R.
