Now recognized as two of Faulkner's greatest novels, "The Sound and
the Fury" (1929) and "As I Lay Dying" (1930) were commercial
failures in the decade following their publication. By the end of
the Second World War, however, the reputation of both novels had
grown and Faulkner's great fictional creation, Yoknapatawpha
County, had become as much a part of America as any real area of
the Mississippi landscape.
This "Guide" explores the wealth of critical material generated
by these two exceptional works of modernist fiction. From the
initially mixed critical responses to the novels in the early
1930s, the "Guide" follows the enormous growth of interest in
Faulkner's work across six decades. New writings shaped by a range
of critical theories are discussed, offering the reader a clear
view of the place now given to one of America's most innovative and
influential novelists.
