THOSE IN THE KNOW
 

Our small dedicated team has interviewed and consulted with over 100 scholars, descendants and friends of Faulkner around the world.  

 

With the help of an incredible cadre of archival librarians, we have gained unfettered access to Faulkner collections at University of Virginia, University of Mississippi, Southeast Missouri University, University of Texas, the New York City Library and other places.  

Our Faulkner journey began with ...

         

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. Molly Schwartzburg, the Curator Special Collections at the University of Virginia, who provided us with unfettered access and assistance to the multiple Faulkner collections at University of Virginia.

 

In addition to Mississippi and Virginia, we traveled to Missouri, Texas, New York and Japan to review archival  material.  We gathered information from many sources, including Faulkner scholars, academics, writers, librarians, Civil War re-enactors, family, friends and more.
