How much training, support, social opportunity, and community experience do we think it appropriate to provide those who will be leading our society in the future?” Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.hamilton.edu/news/urgo-co-authors-guide-to-faulkners-em-absalom-absalom-em http://www.hamilton.edu/news/urgo-co-authors-guide-to-faulkners-em-absalom-absalom-em Dean of Faculty Joseph R. Urgo has co-authored a new book, Reading Faulkner: Absalom, Absalom! (University Press of Mississippi, March, 2010), with Noel Polk, professor emeritus of English at Mississippi State University.

John J. Murphy and Merrill Maguire Skaggs (Madison: Fairleigh Dickinson Press). The essay is based on a letter discovered by Urgo in a Drew University archive. Through a close reading of the 1934 letter from Cather to critic Gorham Munson, probably never mailed, Urgo reconstructs a previously undocumented aspect of Cather's relationship with her contemporaries.
