Ruppersburg examines the use of narrative viewpoint and structure in four representative novels by William Faulkner: \u003ci\u003eLight in August\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePylon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRequiem for a Nun\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAbsalom, Absalom!\u003c\/i\u003e In his discussion of these four works he refers frequently, and often at length, to Faulkner's other novels and stories, so that the book offers a comprehensive examination of the narrative principle that underlie Faulkner's literary achievement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRuppersburg shows how the Nobel Prize-winning novelist employed a number of elements to guarantee the impersonality of his fiction--how he built his novels primarily around the speech and thoughts of his characters. The absence of a judgmental authorial or narrational voice, says Ruppersburg, compels the reader to reach his own judgment concerning the behavior of these characters as well as the meaning and value of the fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy fusing a number of individual perspectives into a composite perspective, Faulkner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh Ruppersburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820333646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820333649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Hugh Ruppersburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435704594687,"sku":"9780820333649","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35d7a412-5a56-4877-b44f-6e372061e8cc.jpg?v=1777152149","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voice-and-eye-in-faulkners-hugh-ruppersburg-9780820333649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
