{"product_id":"student-companion-to-william-faulkner-john-dennis-anderson-9780313334399","title":"Student Companion to William Faulkner","description":"One of America's greatest writers, William Faulkner wrote fiction that combined spellbinding Southern storytelling with modernist formal experimentation to shape an enduring body of work. In his fictional Yoknapatawpha County--based on the region around his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi--he created an entire world peopled with unforgettable characters linked into an intricate historical and social web. An introduction to the Nobel-Prize-winning author's life and work, this book devotes opening chapters to his biography and literary heritage and subsequent chapters to each of his major works. The analytical chapters start with his most accessible book, \u003ci\u003eThe Unvanquished\u003c\/i\u003e, a Civil-War-era account of a boy's coming of age. The following chapters orient readers to elements of plot, character, and theme in Faulkner's masterpieces: \u003ci\u003eThe Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Light in August\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAbsalom, Absalom!\u003c\/i\u003e Also analyzed and discussed are some of Faulkner's most often anthologized short stories, including \u003ci\u003eA Rose For Emily and Barn Burning\u003c\/i\u003e, and the longer stories \u003ci\u003eThe Bear, Spotted Horses\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man\u003c\/i\u003e that were incorporated in the novels \u003ci\u003eGo Down, Moses\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Hamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIf I Forget Thee, Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e. Clear, insightful analyses of the elements of Faulkner's fiction are supplemented with alternative readings from a variety of critical approaches including gender, rhetorical, performance, and cultural studies perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dennis Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313334390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313334399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.48w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 266","brand":"John Dennis Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086480552191,"sku":"9780313334399","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a5cd268-c7e1-41f8-a2a6-1142f0078223.jpg?v=1769094910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/student-companion-to-william-faulkner-john-dennis-anderson-9780313334399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
