The Novels of William Faulkner: A Critical Interpretation

By Olga W. Vickery

Book Overview

Hailed by reviewers upon its publication more than thirty years ago, The Novels of William Faulkner remains the preeminent interpretation of Faulkner in the formalist critical tradition while it inspires Faulknerians of all methodologies. Part One contains detailed analyses of every novel from Soldiers' Pay to The Reivers, with particular emphasis on elucidation of character, theme, and structural technique. Part Two discusses interrelated patterns and preoccupations in Faulkner's writing generally. Insightful and well reasoned, Olga W. Vickery's work continues to be of enormous benefit to readers and scholars.
