Southern Renaissance, the American South, William FaulknerAbstract
The article examines the phenomenon of the "Southern Renaissance" in U.S. literature as a unique object for a scholarly journey that unites historical, cultural, and aesthetic analysis. Drawing on the IMRAD methodology, the author investigates the Southern Renaissance as a complex cultural landscape shaped by the trauma of defeat, the burden of the past, and the racial dilemma. The focus is on the work of W. Faulkner, T. Williams, Z. N. Hurston, C. McCullers, and others, through which it is shown how a local literary tradition was able to express themes universal to the world literature of the 20th century: the crisis of identity, alienation, and the clash between tradition and modernity.
