Abstract

This chapter discusses Faulkner's turn to short fiction around 1930 as evidence of his reckoning with the broad market pressures that would leave a powerful imprint on his entire literary career.Reading "Thrift" (1930), one of Faulkner's earliest stories to be published in a national magazine, as a complex meditation on the penetration of economic concerns into every corner of human existence, and considering the story's placement amid Faulkner's most creative years of work (during the early years of the Great Depression), the chapter seeks to demonstrate that a greater attention on the financial motives and constraints in Faulkner's life and work will illuminate many of these texts, and the economic and social histories in which they were produced, in complex ways.
剖析节俭:市场、媒体和威廉·福克纳的大萧条
这一章讨论了福克纳在1930年左右转向短篇小说,作为他对广泛的市场压力的清算的证据,这种压力将在他的整个文学生涯中留下强有力的印记。《节俭》(1930)是福克纳最早在全国性杂志上发表的小说之一,作为对经济问题渗透到人类生活每个角落的复杂思考,并考虑到这个故事的位置是福克纳最具创造力的工作年代(大萧条的早期),本章试图证明,对福克纳生活和工作中的经济动机和约束的更多关注将阐明许多这些文本。以及它们以复杂的方式产生的经济和社会历史。
