{"product_id":"outraged-and-amazed-joel-peckham-9781527508439","title":"Outraged and Amazed: Transgressing the South in Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom!","description":"Outraged and Amazed focuses on how Absalom, Absalom!â (TM)s complex narrative functions as a vehicle through which social order in the South is represented, challenged and renegotiated. Exploring Quentin Compsonâ (TM)s attempt to understand his own identity through the complicated and incomplete story of Thomas Sutpen, it demonstrates how the poetics, structure and central conflicts of the novel derive from a combination of its charactersâ (TM) intense resistance to their proscribed social limitations and their desire to wrest control of their identities through and from the act of storytelling. \u003cp\u003eIntending to present a narrative that could explain the past in a way that makes sense of their world and their place in it, these would-be authors are instead confronted with their limitations and the inadequacy of their knowledge. Outraged and Amazed explores the bewildering, tangled, dislocated, and confused story we are left with â \" a story of the South that is plausible but unverifiable, at once self-reflexively fictive and true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Peckham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527508439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527508439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 91\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joel Peckham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518799327487,"sku":"9781527508439","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72469e1b-ae4b-4232-ae26-24c00797b8d9.jpg?v=1778735693","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/outraged-and-amazed-joel-peckham-9781527508439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
