Acknowledgments
In Faulkner, the past never ceases to exist but continues to live into the present. Just so, the many invaluable gestures of help and encouragement that I have received on this project over nearly four decades from teachers, friends, colleagues, editors, and family live on in the pages of this book. Some of them may not recall how important their contribution really was, but I remember well and would like to take this opportunity to thank them.
My introduction to Faulkner came under the aegis of Frank J. Smith Jr., an extraordinary English teacher who had not only the good sense to have his eleventh-grade students read both the complete version of "The Bear" and Intruder in the Dust but the pedagogic skill to make them entranced with such a difficult author. I also owe a great deal to Donald Fleming for enticing me into the field of American intellectual history and for taking seriously the ideas of a college freshman on Faulkner, even when they conflicted with his own. William Leuchtenberg, displaying the generosity for which he has become legendary, allowed me to write a master's essay on the Snopes trilogy under his direction in a seminar that was ostensibly focused on the New Deal. Although he is a political historian by training and predilection, I invariably found his observations about Faulkner astute and valuable.
