Beyond The Old Marshal: "Patriotic Nonsense," the Vernacular Cosmopolitan, And Faulkner's Fiction of the Early 1940s

The author analyzes how Faulkner’s early-1940s fiction engages with ideas of patriotism and nationalism that go beyond simplistic wartime slogans (“patriotic nonsense”). Faulkner’s work is examined through the lens of a vernacular cosmopolitan perspective — meaning how his stories reflect both local Southern U.S. cultural identities and broader global concerns during World War II. The article revisits narratives like Two Soldiers and related works to show that Faulkner challenges traditional patriotic rhetoric, instead portraying complex intersections of individual experience, regional identity, and national language about war and loyalty.
