I would also like to express my gratitude to Professor Manfred S. Frings for providing me with literature on Max Scheler, many thanks as well for his correspondence, which helped me to find the answers I sought after. I am deeply grateful to Professor Tadeusz Sławek forgiving me a hand with the publication of the book and to Doctor Tadeusz Lewandowski, who took the trouble to read and correct my dissertation. With Professor Ilona Dobosiewicz’s perceptive comments and Professor Zbigniew Maszewski’s constructive remarks, I was able to prepare the final version of the manuscript. I am also indebted to the School of Higher Vocational Education in Nysa for partially financing the project and for enabling me to participate in the Erasmus program, which resulted in a preliminary survey of the holdings of the British Library. Deep thanks go to Karol Perepłyś and Wojciech Pacha, as well, for their technical and editorial expertise and help.  \nMy research on William Faulkner would not have been brought to an end if I had not had other intellectual guides like André Bleikasten, Stephen M. Ross, Noel Polk, and other critics. That they decided to dedicate themselves to studying the literary output of the father of Yoknapatawpha County enabled me to better understand and proceed further and further.  \nFinally, I would like to extend my thanks to my family and friends for being here and there. Without them, I would not be who I am.  \nTable of Contents  \nKey to Abbreviations.......................................................................................... 11  \nIntroduction ........................................................................................................ 13  \nChapter One  \nThe Phenomenon of Death .................................................................................17  \n1.
