| Research Abstract |
This study aims at comparing the novels of William Faulkner and Zora Neale Hurston in term of gender and ideas about ownership of property, thus clarifying the similarities and differences between these two contemporaries who lived and wrote fiction in the early 20th century. The examination of fiction of the white male writer and the black female writer sheds light on the significance of the intertextual relationship between their works which has been unmarked in the recent studies of the multicultural aspects of the black-white relationship in the early 20th century American literature.
