The articles in the web archive have appeared in past issues of the Teaching Faulkner Newsletter. They are arranged alphabetically by the title of the primary text discussed in the article. Other articles, such as Joseph Blotner's recollections of working with Faulkner's biography and perspectives on teaching Faulkner in other contexts, such as with Civil War history or using Faulkner to teach medical students, are listed under Faulkner Miscellany.
The Teaching Faulkner sections of our website are updated periodically--so bookmark this site and check back often!
