Biography spotlights Virginia Faulknerโ€™s legacy at Nebraska Press A new biography revisits the life and legacy of Virginia Faulkner, the longtime University of Nebraska Press editor who helped revive Willa Catherโ€™s reputation and build the Bison Books imprint. Once largely overlooked, Faulknerโ€™s influence on the press โ€” and American literary scholarship โ€” still resonates decades later.

"As the University of Nebraska Press marks its 85th year, the house Faulkner helped shape is telling her story from the very imprint she helped build."

VIRGINIA FAULKNER by @neglectedbooks.com was featured in Nebraska Today, with comments from our Editor in Chief @bridgetrbarry.bsky.social!

I offer to go beyond the tendency to limit the meaning of a proverb to its parallelistic structure in order to consider appositional tensions as well as reversible metaphors at play.
