Writing in Resistances and Modernisms: A Brief Consideration of William Faulkner and Toni Morrison.
This 12-page graduate paper compares the similarities and differences between Faulkner and Morrison and considers whether Morrison can be termed a modern day Faulkner. This essay argues that Faulkner and Morrison both deal with similar subject matter and are indebted to modernism, albeit in differing ways. The paper concludes, however, that Morrison cannot be considered a modern-day Faulkner, but rather a writer in her own right who happens to share a similar literary heritage.
