Zusammenfassung:This text treats William Faulkner's major fiction - from 'Flags in the Dust' through to 'Absalom, Absalom!' - to a searching reappraisal under the spotlight of a media-historical inquiry.

His modernism emerges from a fraght but productive interplay between his anachronistic predilection for chivalric chiches and his extraordinarily knowledgeable interest in the most up-to-date media institutions and forms
