THOSE IN THE KNOW
Our Faulkner Journey Began with...
Professor Jay Watson
University of Mississippi
Dr. Molly Schwartzburg
Harvard University
Formerly University of Virginia
Professor Emeritus
Robert Hamblin
Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO)
​
Professor Jay Watson, the Howry Professor of Faulkner Studies at University of Mississippi, who provided us with a framework to understand the writer and the work. Dr. Watson's exceptional guidance and unwavering support have been instrumental to our collective growth on this incredible journey, leaving an indelible mark of excellence on each step we've taken.

​
​
​
Dr. Molly Schwartzburg, who was at that time the Curator Special Collections at the University of Virginia, provided us with unfettered access and assistance to the multiple Faulkner collections at University of Virginia. Dr. Schwartzburg is currently the Philip Hofer Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts at Houghton Library at Harvard University.
​
​
​
​
Professor Emeritus Robert W. Hamblin, founding director of the Center for Faulkner Studies at Southeast Missouri State University, invested his time selflessly, enlightening us with a deep appreciation for Faulkner's pivotal role in shaping both American and global literary perspectives. Professor Hamblin has written nineteen books on Faulkner and was chosen as one of only three professors to lead the discussion of Faulkner for Oprah's Summer of Faulkner in 2005.
​
In addition to Mississippi, Virginia and Missouri, our team traveled to Texas, New York and Japan to analyze rich archival material. We gathered information from many sources, including Faulkner scholars, academics, writers, librarians, Civil War re-enactors, Faulkner's family and friends and more.
