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.

Stalag IV-B was one of the largest prisoner-of-war camps in Germany during World War II. Stalag is an abbreviation of the German Stammlager ("Main Camp"). It was located 5.0 miles north-east of the town of Mühlberg in the Prussian Province of Saxony, just east of the Elbe river and about 30 miles north of Dresden. From 1944 to 1945 it belonged to the Province of Halle-Merseburg. The Soviet Army arrived at the camp in April 1945. The Soviet liberators held the British and American prisoners in the camp for over a month. The division had spent 163 days in combat. The division took 13,351 enemy prisoners of war on its own.[18] Members of the division won three Medals of Honor, seven Distinguished Service Crosses, five Legions of Merit, 492 Silver Star Medals, 23 Soldier's Medals, 5,156 Bronze Star Medals, and 90 Air Medals. The division itself was awarded three campaign streamers for participation in the campaign. The author was one of 491 members of the Division officially listed as Prisoners of War. 100th Infantry Division returned to the United States on 10 January 1946, and was inactivated on 26 January. Mr. Watson graduated Latta High School with honors and attended the Citadel until World War II. He tested into the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) which sent him to Georgia Tech before he deployed to the German Front with the Army Infantry, 100th Division, 398th Company A. He served as a mortarman and was captured and detained as a POW at Stalag IV B for the final 6 Months of the war. He chronicled in great detail the story of his military service in his personal memoir entitled, "First Class Privates". The Army awarded him 3 Campaign ribbons, a Bronze Star and a POW medal. Mr. Watson finished his education at the University of South Carolina-Cum Laude in 1948. The Public Health Service recruited him in 1948 where he began what turned out to be a very long and illustrious career in public health. He started out as one of the original Public Health Advisors in the Venereal Disease investigation and moved from there to the organization that became the Communicable Disease Center (CDC) and later the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. During his time as Executive Officer of CDC, he obtained his Masters in Public Administration from Harvard University in 1964. He was promoted to Assistant Director in 1970. In 1976 he was promoted to Deputy Director then served under 4 different Directors until his retirement in 1984. Upon his retirement the CDC Medal of Excellence was renamed the William C.

In 1985 the Public Health Advisors formed the Watsonian Society in his honor. Bill served as the Director of Operations for the Carter Center from 1986 - 1992.
