The Curious Case of Faulkner's "The De Gaulle Story"

This article investigates the unusual history and critical status of William Faulkner’s lesser-known work The De Gaulle Story. It explores questions of authorship, publication context, and the relationship between Faulkner’s literary identity and his involvement with politically or historically oriented narratives. The study situates the text in relation to Charles de Gaulle and the broader context of World War II, examining how Faulkner engages—directly or indirectly—with contemporary global events. It also addresses debates among scholars regarding the authenticity, intention, and significance of the work within Faulkner’s canon. By analyzing stylistic features and historical context, the article argues that The De Gaulle Story complicates conventional views of Faulkner as solely focused on the American South. Instead, it reveals a more globally aware writer whose work intersects with political discourse and wartime narratives.
