The fictional domains of Yoknapatawpha County and Jefferson, Mississippi, are not simply imagined communities but imaginative geographies of remarkable complexity and detail, as evidenced by the maps Faulkner created of his \"apocryphal\" county. Exploring the diverse functions of space in Faulkner's artistic vision, the eleven essays in \u003cem\u003eFaulkner's Geographies\u003c\/em\u003e delve deep into Yoknapatawpha but also reach beyond it, to uncover unsuspected connections and flows linking local, regional, national, hemispheric, and global geographies in Faulkner's writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndividual contributions examine the influence of the plantation as a land-use regime on Faulkner's imagination of north Mississippi's geography; the emergence of \"micro-Souths\" as a product of modern migratory patterns in the urban North of Faulkner's fiction; the enlistment of the author's work in the geopolitics of the cultural Cold War during the 1950s; the historical and literary affiliations between Faulkner's Deep South and Greater Mexico; the local and idiosyncratic as alternatives to region and nation; the unique intersection of regional and metropolitan geographies that Faulkner encountered as a novice writer immersed in the literary culture of New Orleans; the uses of feminist geography to trace the interplay of gender, space, and movement; and the circulation of Caribbean and \"Black South\" spaces and itineraries through Faulkner's masterpiece, \u003cem\u003eAbsalom, Absalom!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy bringing new attention to the function of space, place, mapping, and movement in his literature, \u003cem\u003eFaulkner's Geographies\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to redraw the very boundaries of Faulkner studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJay Watson\u003c\/b\u003e is Howry Professor of Faulkner Studies and Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Mississippi.
