Contributor <p data-start="761" data-end="893">The article <span data-start="773" data-end="803" style="">“Faulkner and Masculinity”</span> examines how <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline">William Faulkner</span> represents masculinity in his works. It argues that masculinity in Faulkner’s writing is not stable or heroic, but often marked by crisis, social pressure, and internal conflict. Male characters struggle with expectations of honor, authority, and social roles in the American South, frequently failing or experiencing decline. The article highlights how Faulkner critiques and complicates traditional masculinity, showing it as shaped by history, culture, and social change.</p> The Johns Hopkins University Press Fall 1999/2000 pdf ISSN 0884-2949 Literature (thematic and gender analysis) Related: , Faulkner and Masculinity mixed material The Johns Hopkins University Press
