"The 1899 lynching of Sam Hose in Newnan, Georgia, was one of the earliest and most gruesome events in a tragic chapter of U.S. history. Hose was a black laborer accused of killing Alfred Cranford, a white farmer, and raping his wife. The national media closely followed the manhunt and Hose’s capture. An armed mob intercepted Hose’s Atlanta-bound train and took the prisoner back to Newnan. There, in front of a large gathering on a Sunday ..."
Reading Faulkner Sanctuary (Reading Faulkner Series) by EdwinT. Arnold, Dawn Trouard Paperback, 300 Pages, Published 2011 by University Press Of Mississippi ISBN-13: 978-1-61703-053-6, ISBN: 1-61703-053-8
"No other novel by William Faulkner has experienced the kind of dramatic critical re-evaluation that "Sanctuary" has received. Published in 1931, it seemed to many readers and critics in the thirties as a terrible misstep on Faulkner's part. It was a violent, vulgar, deliberately sensational work. Over the years, serious Faulkner critics have attempted to go beyond the initial shock of this nightmarish tale and to place it within the con ..."

"Film -- Biography In this collection of interviews, Robert Aldrich (1918-1983) tells fascinating stories of making motion pictures with such film legends as Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Jack Palance, Robert Mitchum, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, James Stewart, Charles Bronson, Eddie Albert, and Burt Reynolds.

" Originally published in 1993, this was the first volume of essays devoted to the works of Cormac McCarthy. Immediately it was recognized as a major contribution to studies of this acclaimed American author. American Literary Scholarship hailed it as "a model of its kind." It has since established itself as an essential source for any McCarthy scholar, student, or serious reader. In 1993, McCarthy had recently published All the Pretty ..."
"Conversations with Erskine Caldwell contains thirty-two interviews with this major writer, who during his long career enjoyed both the celebrity and the controversy that his books generated. These collected interviews include what is apparently his first, given in 1929 before the publication of The Bastard, to one of the very last, given only weeks before his death in April 1987. Caldwell was a lifelong outspoken opponent of censorship ..."

" "Blood Meridian reads like a conflation of the Inferno, the Iliad, and Moby-Dick . . . an extraordinary, breathtaking achievement." --Independent (London) "Sepich lets us see how Cormac McCarthy went about crafting what he built, with the result that Blood Meridian . . . becomes more a wonderment than ever. This is constructive scholarship at its best." --Shelby Foote Blood Meridian (1985), Cormac McCarthy's epic tale of an ..."
"Edwin T. Arnold. For a long while Caldwell had not written any ' 'worthwhile' '
fiction. He had been too unsettled to write more than the texts for You Have Seen
Their Faces (1937) and North of the Danube (1939). Though both works earned ..."

"But, for example, Mack Stiltner is not a better person than, say, Roger Lee; I
meant Roger Lee to be a good person, just sort of limited in certain ways. Mack
was kind of limited in certain ways, too. And I think Roger Lee's just as nice as he

their opinions, more decisive in their actions, because they don't know the
alternatives. Maybe, to some extent, ..."
"Blevins is also a good one for unfortunate words: “I'm double bred for death by
fire” (APH 68). 26. To a certain extent, McCarthy's trilogy echoes Under The
Volcano, about which Malcolm Lowry wrote: “The scene is Mexico, the meeting
place, according to some, of mankind itself. . . . Its geographical remoteness from
us, as well as the closeness of its problems to our own, will assist the tragedy
each in its own way. We can see it as ..."

"A handbook for interpreting William Faulkner's most violent and shocking novel"
"After Margaret finally returned from Europe in April of 1940, Caldwell would not
allow himself to be separated from her for long periods. During the summer and
fall of that year they spent much time together as they toured the states to collect
material for another collaborative volume eventually issued as Say, Is This the
USA.? (1941). That long-term association, however, precipitated some of those
same problems that had always ha ..."

"His spiritual hunger, apparent in the novel's rich but adumbrated Christology, can
be satisfied by the things of this world. Thus, in the throes of his typhoid delirium,
Suttree sees that “there is one Suttree and one Suttree only” (461) and,
furthermore, that “all souls are one and all souls lonely” (459). The assertion of
the ultimate integrity and sufficiency of the self and of the value of a human
community based on an affiliat ..."
