This volume guides readers through one of William Faulkner's most
complex novels. By common consent The Sound and the Fury is a
seminal document of twentieth-century literature. Almost from the
beginning, it has been a litmus test for critical approaches--from
New Criticism to biography and manuscript analysis. In the past two
decades, nearly all of the newest critical theories have come
calling on Faulkner's novel. Yet it resists or evades even the most
ardent theorists' efforts to contain it, and much of its total
accomplishment remains unplumbed. This volume, like others in the
Reading Faulkner Series, provides line-by-line interpretation and
concentration on individual words and sentences, visual dimensions,
time shifts, intricacies of narration, and other obscurities. It
explores Faulkner's words as they appear on the page, deciphering
and responding to them in their linear progression and in their
cumulating resonances inside and outside the text. Important
allusions and references are identified, as are dates and
historical passages. For many passages alternative readings are
offered. The pagination is keyed to the definitive text of the
Vintage edition.
