The
William Faulkner Foundation was created at the University of Rennes

Research Center inaugurated on October 21, 1994 by the late American
Ambassador, Mrs. Pamela Harriman, is an important research center
for Faulkner in Europe. It houses the William Faulkner Manuscripts,
Rare Books Collection and Concordances to William Faulkner's Works,
