From the rear cover: "Although he belonged to an American generation of writers deeply influenced by the high modernist revolt 'against nature' and against the self-imposed limits of realism to a palpable world, William Faulkner reveals throughout his works an abiding sensitivity to the natural world. He writes of the big woods, of animals, and of the human body as a 'ground of being' that art and culture can neither transcend nor completely control. The eleven essays that make up this volume, including a paper written by the acclaimed novelist William Kennedy, explore the place of 'the unbuilt world' in Faulkner's fiction. They give particular attention to the social, mythic, and economic significance of nature, to the complexity of racial identity, and to the inevitable clash of gender and sexuality. These essays were presented in 1996 as papers at the Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, held annually at the University of Mississippi.". First Printing of the First Edition. Soft Cover.

In 1971 as a freshmen at Georgetown University, Richard Burke volunteered at the offices of his political idol, Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Over the next four years he would become one of the Senator's closest staff members and then in 1977 become Kennedy's personal assistant. A year later, in 1978, he would be appointed Administrative Assistant, the youngest in the U.S. Senate. Burke held that appointment until 1981. For nearly an entire decade during his professional association with Senator Kennedy he was considered the right-hand of one of the most powerful men in American political life.
