dc.description.abstractWilliam Faulkner is one of the greatest American authors, and especially one of the greatest authors on the American South. Brad Paisley is a contemporary country musician whose songs involve the South and who uses similar themes to describe Southern culture as William Faulkner. In this thesis, I will analyze what kind of themes and ideas the twentieth century author on the one hand, and the contemporary country artist on the other hand, express through their cultural works. There are a number of questions that I aim to answer: what are the differences between Faulkner as a modernist author writing for an elite audience, and Paisley describing the South through his country music? What themes do the two artists use to express their views on the South? What is Southern identity according to Faulkner and Paisley?en_US
