Originally published in 1986. William Faulkner's major novels
represent one of the earliest American explorations into the
paradoxes inherent in both literary discourse and racial
segregation in the American South. Figures of Division demonstrates
that these works reject conventional divisions and a social and
linguistic deception, and discover a reality where people merge
across social boundaries. This analysis of Faulkner's narrative
discourse shows for the first time that the mechanisms of social
division profoundly affect both the content and the form of his
major novels.
