{"product_id":"fictions-of-labor-richard-godden-9780521044271","title":"Fictions of Labor: William Faulkner and the South's Long Revolution","description":"Fictions of Labor considers William Faulkner's representation of the structural paradoxes of labour dependency in the Southern economy from the antebellum period through to the New Deal. This book seeks to link stylistic aspects of Faulkner's writing to a generative social trauma which constitutes its formal core. That trauma, Godden argues, is a labour trauma, centred on the debilitating discovery by the Southern owning class of its own production by those it subordinates. Using close textual analysis and careful historical contextualization, Richard Godden produces a persuasive account of the ways in which Faulkner's work rests on deeply submerged anxieties about the legacy of violently coercive labour relations in the American South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Godden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521044278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521044271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Richard Godden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254724587775,"sku":"9780521044271","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_798fa804-dd86-44ed-bd61-e99487a15e85.jpg?v=1694614011","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fictions-of-labor-richard-godden-9780521044271","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
