Summary
“The politics of Faulkner criticism is male politics; the discourse of Faulkner criticism is male discourse,” wrote feminist Faulkner critic Minrose C. Gwin in 1988.1 Working to challenge this lamentable fact, long-felt among feminist scholars of Faulkner’s work, game-changing analyses – including Gwin’s own The Feminine and Faulkner, Deborah Clarke’s Robbing the Mother, and Diane Roberts’s Faulkner and Southern Womanhood – have put women front and center.
