Willa Cather’s place in American literary tradition can be assessed in relation to her literary influence onto contemporary writers as well as the excellence of her individual work. While her influence onto F. Scott Fitzgerald’s has been discussed extensively starting from his well-known confession of “an instance of apparent plagiarism,” William Faulkner’s intertexual relationship with Cather has not been explored deservedly. As an extension to Skaggs’s almost the only investigation of Faulkner’s “recycling” of Cather’s fiction and criticism, this paper draws attention to the parallels between Cather’s A Lost Lady and Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” and examines Cather’s unacknowledged influence on Faulkner’s well-known short story. The paper shows how despite apparent differences in size and the use of subgenre such as realism and the gothic, the two pieces have a lot in common in terms of place, historical background, narrative voice, communal treatment of the aristocratic heroine. Just like Cather’s collective narrator’s inescapable gaze and surveillance onto Marian Forrester, Faulkner’s Emily becomes an object of admiration, envy, and violence in the community. Emily is similar to Mrs. Forrester in that she refuses to submit to the oppressive, invasive expectations of honor and lady-like behaviour and become an passive, tragic victim, although she remains in the old past, while Mrs. Forrester adapts to changes and envisions for the future.
Abstract
Willa Cather’s place in American literary tradition can be assessed in relation to her literary influence onto contemporary writers as well as the excellence of her individual work. While her influence onto F. Scott Fitzgerald’s has been discussed extensively starting from his well-known confession of “an instance of apparent plagiarism,” William Faulkner’s intertexual relationship with Cather has not been explored deservedly. As an extension to Skaggs’s almost the only investigation of Faulkner’s “recycling” of Cather’s fiction and criticism, this paper draws attention to the parallels between Cather’s A Lost Lady and Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” and examines Cather’s unacknowledged influence on Faulkner’s well-known short story. The paper shows how despite apparent differences in size and the use of subgenre such as realism and the gothic, the two pieces have a lot in common in terms of place, historical background, narrative voice, communal treatment of the aristocratic heroine. Just like Cather’s collective narrator’s inescapable gaze and surveillance onto Marian Forrester, Faulkner’s Emily becomes an object of admiration, envy, and violence in the community. Emily is similar to Mrs. Forrester in that she refuses to submit to the oppressive, invasive expectations of honor and lady-like behaviour and become an passive, tragic victim, although she remains in the old past, while Mrs. Forrester adapts to changes and envisions for the future.
