| 概要 |
Drawn from the pages of "Modern Fiction Studies"--with its distinguished tradition of publishing scholarship on William Faulkner--this landmark volume collects nineteen seminal essays that focus on F...ulkner's most popular fiction, reflecting the enduring relevance of his canon. The essays are grouped thematically into four categories--Myth and Religion; Temporality, History, and Trauma; Gender and Race: Affect, the Body, and Identity; and Modernity and Modernist Technique. For ease of use in the classroom, "MFS" editor John N. Duvall has also included two appendixes. The first is an alternative table of contents that arranges the critiques by major novels. The second appendix lists all of the essays chronologically, and provides a full list of all seventy-three Faulkner essays published by "MFS"over the years. Duvall's introduction explains the critical role of "MFS" in the evolution of Faulkner studies. His organization of the works and his supplementary material provide both students and scholars with a concise overview of Faulkner studies from its New Critical beginnings through its current engagements with theory and history.
The 19 essays collected here, analyzing William Faulkner's major fiction from 1929 to 1942, first appeared in Modern Fiction Studies, an academic journal from Purdue University's English Department. In addition to illuminating the novels, characters, and broad themes in his body of work, the essays also chart the growth of critical approaches to Faulkner's fiction. An introduction charts the role of Modern Fiction Studies in the field of Faulkner studies. The essays are grouped in sections on moral and ethical values in his fiction, history and trauma, gender and race, and modernity and modernist technique. Appendices list the essays by novel and chronologically. The book also lists all 73 essays on Faulkner published by Modern Fiction Studies since its founding in 1955. Duvall (English, Purdue University) has been editor of Modern Fiction Studies for 10 years. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) 続きを見る
