The University of Virginia’s multi-year collaborative project to encode Faulkner’s entire Yoknapatawpha fiction as an atlas of interactive maps. The project will be contextualized in terms of the relatively recent emergence of the digital humanities, discussing a number of theoretical and practical issues with which this new discipline engages. We will also workshop the digital prototype in which scholars have thus far encoded half of the 15 novels and 48 stories that comprise Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha canon.
