Taking into consideration their personal, political, and artistic ways of responding to the histories and realities of their time and place, \u003ci\u003eFaulkner, Welty, Wright: A Mississippi Confluence\u003c\/i\u003e offers comparative scholarship that forges new connections--or, as Welty might say, traces new confluences--across texts, authors, identities, and traditions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the collection, contributors discuss Faulkner's \u003ci\u003eLight in August\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSanctuary\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGo Down, Moses\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eAs I Lay Dying\u003c\/i\u003e; \"A Rose for Emily\"; and \"That Evening Sun\"; Welty's \u003ci\u003eOne Writer's Beginnings\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e One Time, One Place\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e The Optimist's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Losing Battles\u003c\/i\u003e; \"Why I Live at the P.O.\"; \"Livvie\"; \"Moon Lake\"; \"The Burning\"; \"Where Is the Voice Coming From?\"; and \"The Demonstrators\"; and Wright's \u003ci\u003eNative Son\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Long Dream\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003e12 Million Black Voices\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Black Boy\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eLawd Today!\u003c\/i\u003e; \"The Man Who Lived Underground\"; \"The Ethics of Living Jim Crow\"; and \"Long Black Song.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAcknowledging that Mississippi ground was never level for any of the three writers, the fourteen essays in this volume turn from the familiar strategies of single-author criticism toward a mode of analysis more receptive to the fluid mergings of creative currents, placing Wright, Welty, and Faulkner in comparative relationship to each other as well as to other Mississippi writers such as Margaret Walker, Lewis Nordan, Natasha Trethewey, Jesmyn Ward, Steve Yarbrough, and Kiese Laymon. Doing so deepens and enriches our understanding of these literary giants and the Mississippi modernism they made together.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnette Trefzer \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of English at the University of Mississippi.
