Others writing on Faulkner have found the phrase `` traditional moralist '' either inadequate or misleading.
Among them are Frederick J. Hoffman, William Van O'Connor, and Mrs. Olga Vickery.
They have indicated the direction but they have not been explicit enough, I believe, in pointing out Faulkner's independence, his questioning if not indeed challenging the Southern tradition.
Faulkner's is not the mind of the apologist which Mr. O'Donnell implies that it is.
He is not one to remain more comfortably and unquestioningly within a body of social, cultural, or literary traditions than he was within the traditions -- or possibly the regulations -- governing his tenure in the post office at Oxford, Mississippi, thirty-five years ago.
