Simple Bibliography

I found my sources by consulting JSTOR (my usual go-to source), Google Scholar (one I have not used before but decided to finally check out after hearing it discussed in our library session), and the Hunter College Libraries databases. I searched for the terms “consciousness” and “existence” in association with “William Faulkner” or “As I Lay Dying”.

    A good start, but I notice that your sources skew very very old: as far back as the 60s and 70s and only one 21stC cite. I think this is a symptom of a research question that can be refined to reflect concerns in more recent work. You might try two strategies: a) search for “Addie” or “Darl” and limit to post-2000 content to see what comes up; or b) try for synonyms like “cognition” or “subjectivity” and, again, limit to more recent work.

    Also take a look at Eileen’s and Elizaveta’s biblios: both have a source or two that you might find useful as well.
