Faulkner and the Thoroughly Modern Novel

By Virginia V. James Hlavsa

For years William Faulkner had friend and foe believing he was an artless spinner of tangled yarns; his works made veiled references to myth and Scripture, but many dismissed these as mere literary make-weight. Virginia V.James Hlavsa's book tackles parallels between Light in August and the Bible and looks to place Faulkner's work into a mainstream modernist context.
