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.
