About The Book

Light in August (1932) is one of William Faulkner''s most important most challenging and most widely studied novels demanding to be approached from many angles and with a variety of critical and scholarly skills. Here five distinguished critics offer just such a range of approaches discussing the novel in terms of its composition and its place in Faulkner''s oeuvre; its structure and narrative techniques; its relation to the religious racial and sexual assumptions of the society it depicts; its presentation of women and handling of gender-related issues; and the social and moral implications of the ''hero'' status accorded to a figure like Joe Christmas. Each contributor has had a double ambition: to write clearly and directly thus making the volume accessible to the widest possible audience and to write freshly and originally so as to enhance - even for those thoroughly familiar with the existing criticism - understanding and appreciation of Light in August itself and of Faulkner''s work as a whole.
