Literary Lives |
| Description: |
Despite all the studies devoted to William Faulkner, he continues to be variously perceived. Focussing on his fiction, this study of Faulkner's multifaceted literary life explores the distinctive blend of continuity and innvoation that characterizes his novels and looks at the extensive and varied reactions they have elicited. |
| Synopsis: |
William Faulkner's career as a novelist is unique. Even as he worked out the continuities of his regional world, creating and populating the imaginary county he called Yoknapatawpha, he was responsible for some of the twentieth century's most startlingly original literary work. Although constantly compared to other novelists, his books helped redefine the genre. His style was distinctive from the beginning, but he put it to the most varied uses imaginable. In this new study, David Rampton defines the contours of an intriguing literary career, arguing that its development is so striking, its stages so marked and its longevity so impressive that it is possible to think of serial Faulkners, each one worth studying for its own sake and as part of a composite portrait. |
