Consequently, it has not received the wide-ranging critical examination it deserves. In \u003ci\u003eFaulkner's Hollywood Novels\u003c\/i\u003e, Ben Robbins provides an overdue thematic analysis by systematically tracing a dialogue of influence between Faulkner's literary fiction and screenwriting over a period of two decades. Among numerous insights, Robbins's work sheds valuable new light on Faulkner's treatment of female characters, both in his novels and in the films to which he contributed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on extensive archival research, Robbins finds that Hollywood genre conventions and archetypes significantly influenced and reshaped Faulkner's craft after his involvement in the studio system. His work in the film industry also produced a deep exploration of the gendered dynamics of collaborative labor, genre formulae, and cultural hierarchies that materialized in both his Hollywood screenplays and his experimental fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Robbins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813951518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813951515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ben Robbins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790139224319,"sku":"9780813951515","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f22e2e24-b3d3-4c80-b973-b83c2f6d1a88.jpg?v=1707288064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faulkners-hollywood-novels-ben-robbins-9780813951515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
