Who's Afraid of the Corncob Man? Masculinity, Race, and Labor in the Preface to "Sanctuary"

The article “Who’s Afraid of the Corncob Man? Masculinity, Race, and Labor in the Preface to Sanctuary” analyzes the preface to the novel Sanctuary by William Faulkner. It focuses on three key themes: masculinity, race, and labor. The author argues that Faulkner uses imagery and tone in the preface to reflect social tensions in the American South, especially norms of masculinity tied to power, violence, and racial hierarchy. The figure of the “Corncob Man” is interpreted as a complex symbol connected to fear, racial prejudice, and labor structures. The article shows that even the preface carries deep ideological meaning, not just a simple introduction to the novel.
