The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)
In this first of two lectures on Blood Meridian, Professor Hungerford walks us through some of the novel's major sources and influences, showing how McCarthy engages both literary tradition and American history, and indeed questions of origins and originality itself. The Bible, Moby-Dick, Paradise Lost, the poetry of William Wordsworth, and the historical narrative of Sam Chamberlain all contribute to the style and themes of this work that remains, in its own right, a provocative meditation on history, one that explores the very limits of narrative and human potential.
00:00 - Chapter 1. The Literary Tradition: Allusions and Revisions
08:49 - Chapter 2. Eradicating Interiority: "Moby Dick"
20:50 - Chapter 3. Modeling Evil: "Paradise Lost"
30:13 - Chapter 4: Rejecting Innocence: Wordsworth
34:59 - Chapter 5. Historical Sources: Samuel Chamberlin's "My Confession"

"Looking for Cormac" is a 33 1/3 minute documentary that follows the trail of our greatest living writer, Cormac McCarthy, from his origins in Knoxville, Tennessee, through New Orleans and into the vast expanse of Texas.
The film deals with the terrain of the American West, McCarthyesque characters and the mystery that is your heart's desire.
Unavailable in its full length version for many years, this posting marks the reemergence of this seminal fanumentary, the directorial debut of filmmaker Eric Davies, together with filmmaker/musician/carnival barker John McKay, and filmmaker and painter Jim Collier.
The film also features rare recordings from elusive Greenwich Village singer-songwriter Jack Foy, whose erie story is the subject of a follow up film now some twenty years in the making, and due to be released from the same film makers later this decade.
Looking For Cormac has played at film festivals across the country, the Film Forum in New York City, and VHS and DVR players across Brooklyn.
Click play, and join these pilgrims as they enter the world of McCarthy, and encounter characters that seem sprung from the pages of Blood Meridian, Child of God, Suttree and other dark classics.
Fly them.

Cormac McCarthy (born Charles McCarthy; July 20, 1933) is an American novelist and playwright. He has written ten novels, spanning the Southern Gothic, Western, and Post-apocalyptic genres. He won the Pulitzer Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction for The Road (2006). His 2005 novel No Country for Old Men was adapted as a 2007 film of the same name, which won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. For All the Pretty Horses (1992) he won both the U.S. National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award. All the Pretty Horses and The Road were also adapted as motion pictures.
Blood Meridian (1985) was among Time magazine's list of 100 best English-language books published between 1923 and 2005 and placed joint runner-up in a poll taken in 2006 by The New York Times of the best American fiction published in the last 25 years. Literary critic Harold Bloom named him as one of the four major American novelists of his time, alongside Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon and Philip Roth, and called Blood Meridian "the greatest single book since Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying". In 2010 The Times ranked The Road first on its list of the 100 best fiction and non-fiction books of the past 10 years. McCarthy has been increasingly mentioned as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
