By common consent The Sound and the Fury is a seminal document of twentieth-century literature. Almost from the beginning it has been a litmus test for critical approaches -- from New Criticism to biography and manuscript analysis. In the past two decades nearly all of the newest critical theories have come calling -- deconstruction and new historicism, as well as culture, gender, and race studies.Yet the novel resists or evades even the most ardent theorists' efforts to contain it, and much of its total accomplishment remains unplumbed. Many of its smaller parts are still mysteries, and the novel remains a formidable challenge not just for beginners but for more sophisticated readers as well.This volume, like others in the Reading Faulkner series, provides line-by-line interpretation, concentrating on individual words and sentences, visual dimensions, time shifts, intricacies of narration, and other obscurities. It explores Faulkner's words as they appear on the page, deciphering an responding to them in their linear progression and in their cumulating resonances inside and outside the text. Important allusions and references are identified, as are dates and historical personages. For many passages alternative readings are offered. The pagination is keyed to the definitive text of the Vintage edition.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50487750689041,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50487751016721,"sku":"CIN0878059369G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52332458475793,"sku":"NLS9780878059362","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53682712740113,"sku":"CIN0878059369A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0878059369.jpg?v=1786134691"},{"product_id":"reading-faulkner-book-hugh-ruppersburg-9780878057320","title":"Reading Faulkner","description":"\u003cbr\u003e Explaining the world of William Faulkner's \"Light in August\" is the primary goal of this glossary.

Its narrative, composed of a series of interrelated stories set against the backdrop of the Civil War, is more linear and less convoluted than many of his novels. Enjoyable as this work focused upon the Sartoris family may be in its presentation of plots and characters, some readers encountering the world of Faulkner's South nevertheless can be daunted by unfamiliar terms, dialect and allusions to the folklife of Faulkner country. They can be guided to a deeper reading pleasure by consulting this handbook explaining Faulkner's resources. Written especially for teachers of Faulkner, graduate students, interpretive schools, and puzzled readers, this volume, like all others in the Reading Faulkner Series, offers explications that reveal Faulkner's rich cultural world. James Hinkle (d. 1990) established the Reading Faulkner Series. He was a professor of English at San Diego State University. Robert McCoy is an associate director at the Institute for Readers Theatre in San Diego.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52433828249873,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433828938001,"sku":"NLS9781617030758","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781617030758.jpg?v=1786614680"},{"product_id":"reading-faulkner-book-edwin-t-arnold-9781617030536","title":"Reading Faulkner","description":"No other novel by William Faulkner has experienced the kind of dramatic critical re-evaluation that Sanctuary has received. Published in 1931, it seemed to many readers and critics in the thirties as a terrible misstep on Faulkner's part. It was a violent, vulgar, deliberately sensational work. Over the years, serious Faulkner critics have attempted to go beyond the initial shock of this nightmarish tale and to place it within the context of Faulkner's overall achievement. This volume offers a close examination and interpretation of Sanctuary. Here difficult words and cultural terms that might prove to be a problem for general readers are explained and keyed to page numbers in the definitive Faulkner text (Library of America and Vintage editions). The authors place the book in its historical context and connect it to Faulkner's other works. For students and teachers of Faulkner's fiction, this handbook clears away some of the seemingly dissonant logic of the novel and brings coherence to Faulkner's provocative design.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52477217374481,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52477218554129,"sku":"NLS9781617030536","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781617030536.jpg?v=1786441889"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/reading-faulkner-ser-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
