description: Go Down, Moses (1942) came to fruition during the second world war and was written during one of Faulkner's most traumatic periods, yet it has fallen to critical neglect amid the vast scholarship on the great Southern writer. In part, this collection aims to tilt the balance, forcing the reader beyond critical commonplaces through asking challenging questions. The five essays assembled here explore the tensions of race and gender apparent throughout the novel.
