From the rear cover: "Although he belonged to an American generation of writers deeply influenced by the high modernist revolt 'against nature' and against the self-imposed limits of realism to a palpable world, William Faulkner reveals throughout his works an abiding sensitivity to the natural world. He writes of the big woods, of animals, and of the human body as a 'ground of being' that art and culture can neither transcend nor completely control. The eleven essays that make up this volume, including a paper written by the acclaimed novelist William Kennedy, explore the place of 'the unbuilt world' in Faulkner's fiction. They give particular attention to the social, mythic, and economic significance of nature, to the complexity of racial identity, and to the inevitable clash of gender and sexuality. These essays were presented in 1996 as papers at the Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, held annually at the University of Mississippi.". First Printing of the First Edition. Soft Cover.

Softcover. Condición: VG. Black wraps. 180 pp. 88 color plates. Includes essays by Micahel Kan and Roy Sieber. Describes and illustrates 88 works. Very nice catalogue of the collection. African Masterworks in the Detroit Institute of Arts showcases eighty-eight of the museum's finest works, representing the full range of major sub-Saharan sculptural traditions during the past three centuries: figures, masks, containers, carved stools, jewelry, and musical instruments. As noted in the introductory material, almost all African art has a functional base - each sculpture's primary justification is its effectiveness as a ritual or utilitarian object. Text accompanying each photograph describes not only the circumstances, when known, of the object's creation, but also the harmonious interplay of its aesthetic features and cultural and spiritual function. The catalogue also details the rituals surrounding the religious objects and the social importance of the secular works. Organized by region, from the western Sudan to southern Africa, the book includes essays on the history of each area, as well as maps and an extensive bibliography. Michael Kan, the curator of the collection, provides a history of the museum's African art acquisitions since 1900, and the introduction by Roy Sieber traces the evolution of Western appreciation for African art, describing also the value placed on the objects by the community from which they arose. …
