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.
