AREL 820 - Willa Cather and William Faulkner: A Conversation

3 credits
The course will explore the lifelong dialogue and rivalry between these two major American modernists.  Growing out of the work of Merrill Skaggs in her ground-breaking work, Axes, we will consider the major novels and short fiction of each writer.  We will explore the pervasive themes and tropes in each of their works and consider how these giants respond to and undercut each other’s conclusions.
