{"product_id":"faulkner-and-the-ecology-of-joseph-r-urgo-9781934110973","title":"Faulkner and the Ecology of the South","description":"In 1952, Faulkner noted the exceptional nature of the South when he characterized it as \"the only really authentic region in the United States, because a deep indestructible bond still exists between man and his environment.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The essays collected in \u003ci\u003eFaulkner and the Ecology of the South\u003c\/i\u003e explore Faulkner's environmental imagination, seeking what Ann Fisher-Wirth calls the: \"ecological counter-melody\" of his texts. \"Ecology\" was not a term in common use outside the sciences in Faulkner's time. However, the word \"environment\" seems to have held deep meaning for Faulkner. Often he repeated his abiding interest in \"man in conflict with himself, with his fellow man, or with his time and place, his environment.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Eco-criticism has led to a renewed interest among literary scholars for what in this volume Cecelia Tichi calls, \"humanness within congeries of habitats and environments.\" Philip Weinstein draws on Pierre Bourdieu's notion of habitus. Eric Anderson argues that Faulkner's fiction has much to do with ecology in the sense that his work often examines the ways in which human communities interact with the natural world, and Fran輟is Pitavy sees Faulkner's wilderness as unnatural in the ways it represents reflections of man's longings and frustrations. Throughout these essays, scholars illuminate in fresh ways the precarious ecosystem of Yoknapatawpha County.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph R.
