| Research Abstract |
(1) I did collation between Faulkner's manuscripts of Unpublished Stories and several published stories and novels. Thus, I traced the process of the making of Absalom, Absalom!, the Snopes trilogy and Sartoris.
(2) On the basis of some parts of my research, I gave a lecture of A STUDY OF FAULKNER, at Faculty of Letters of University of Tokyo for two years (1989-1991).

Now, Vol. 1, No. 2. is under way.
