Existential-Phenomenological Readings on Faulkner

By William J. Sowder

In Existential-Phenomenological Readings on Faulkner, the author's complex characters and their motivations are interpreted in a novel, yet very credible way. In fact, the existential phenomenologists and Faulker were made for each other.
Believing, as Albert Einstein said, that Making Faulkner and his characters accessible and understandable is no small task. William J. Sowder, with the help of existential-phenomenological philosophy, accomplishes this feat. The existential-phenomenologist, like Faulkner, attempts to close the gap between literature and life. Sowder succeeds in closing the gap between Faulkner and the reader. Professor Sowder is the author of several books and articles on both Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Faulkner.
