Introduction

William Cuthbert Faulkner is renowned as one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century. Born in New Albany, Mississippi, on September 25,1897, he spent most of his life in Mississippi and built many of his short stories and novels around his observations and experiences of life in the South. Faulkner's mythical Yoknapatawpha County serves as the locale for many of his stories and is so well known both in print and in motion pictures as to deserve a real place on the map. Myth or not, it will always survive on the literary map of the United States because of Faulkner's technical brilliance and gift for storytelling. After reading Faulkner and experiencing the rush of life so vividly depicted in his stories and in his novels, a visitor to Yoknapatawpha might agree with Lena's assessment of her experiences in Faulkner's A Light in August: "My, my. A body does get around. Here we ain't been coming from Alabama but two months, and now it's already Tennessee." (Faulkner, William. Novels 1930-1935. New York: Library of America, 1985.)

Perhaps only a short distance from Alabama, where Lena began her journey, Tennessee was a world away from what she had left behind. 

Databases

The primary research database for literature is the Modern Language Association's Bibliography. UNF Library has access to the Bibliography online via a database system called EBSCOHost. UNF researchers using the Bibliography will find that they can link to available full-text articles using ArticleLinker. Since the Bibliography, itself, is not a full text database, ArticleLinker provides the means to quickly check for online availability of the articles located.

Full-text articles, including criticism, biography, and journal articles, are available in the Literature Resource Center. Covering such print publications as Dictionary of Literary Biography, Short Story Criticism, and Contemporary Literary Criticism, the Literature Resource Center can provide researchers with a wealth of information in a minimum of time. Please note that UNF researchers will need to be logged into the library system in order to access these databases off campus.

The MLA Bibliography and the LRC are not the only databases that can provide researchers with valuable insights into Faulkner's life and writings. The following databases will be useful to the Faulkner researcher and are all available at the UNF Library. Most of these will also be available online at other research libraries.

  • Arts & Humanities Search
  • Essay & General Literature Index
  • Humanities Full Text
  • LION (Literature Online)
  • Literature Resource Center
  • MLA Bibliography

The library maintains a listing of literature related databases in its Databases by Subject listing under the Literature category.

These are by no means the only databases that can provide access to Faulkner scholarship. For example, if a researcher were looking at psychological perspectives on death in Faulkner's novel As I Lay Dying, the PsycInfo database would likely prove invaluable in identifying psychological literature. Researchers looking at Faulkner's use of dialect and his knowledge of language theory and linguistics might find a database such as Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts useful.
