Lewis Turco, Professor Emeritus of English Writing Arts, is perhaps
the most widely respected poet-scholar in the United States. He
took his B.A. from the University of Connecticut in 1959 and his
M.A. from the University of Iowa in 1962. In 2000 he received an
honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, from Ashland University.
Lewis Turco's classic THE BOOK OF FORMS: A HANDBOOK OF POETICS has
been called "the poet's Bible" since its original publication in
1968. Turco has won many awards, including the Melville Cane Award
of the Poetry Society of America in 1986 and the John Ciardi Award
for lifetime achievement in poetry. This volume is a collection of
essays by some this nation's leading poets, presented in honor of
Dr. Turco's retirement in 1996. Tributes from students are also
included in this Festschrift.
Combining explications of William Faulkner's novels and short
stories with thematic analysis, Hyatt H. Waggoner works from the
close reading of a specific work outward to its most general
meanings and relationships. By this method he has made a
significant contribution to the understanding of Faulkner's career
and artistic achievement. Waggoner examines both better and
lesser-known works, which yield valuable insights into Faulkner's
development when treated in relation to his whole body of work. The
author also addresses the major themes which emerge from critical
analyses of individual works: Faulkner's uneasy relationship with
his Christian background and his unchanging conception of the role
of the artist related to his changing practice as a writer.
Waggoner concludes that Faulkner's artistic career reflects a
creatively productive, but tortured and ambiguous, relationship
with his community.
