Críticas:

"The field of Faulkner studies seems so broad and horizonless that even experienced scholars need a map to plot its various ways. Peek and Hamblin, along with 12 other contributors, provide a most useful set of charts. The essays guide readers through the broad fields of criticism and theory: mythic, archetypal, historical, formalist, modernist, postmodernist, cultural, psychological, feminist, gender, rhetorical, reader response, popular culture, textual, and thematic....An excellent complement to the editors' A William Faulkner Encyclopedia, this volume will be a handy starting point for research. Highly recommended.

Reseña del editor:

Faulkner scholarship is one of the largest critical enterprises currently at work. Because of its size and scope, accessing that scholarship has become difficult for scholars, students, and general readers alike. This reference includes chapters on individual approaches to Faulkner studies, including archetypal, historical, biographical, feminist, and psychological criticism, among others. Each chapter is written by an expert contributor and surveys the contributions of that approach to Faulkner scholarship. The volume concludes with a selected, general bibliography and glossary of critical terms. William Faulkner is one of the most widely read and studied American writers. His works have also generated a vast body of scholarship and elicited criticism from a wide range of approaches. Because of its size, scope, and diversity, accessing that scholarship has become difficult for scholars, students, and general readers alike. This reference comprehensively overviews the present state of Faulkner studies. The volume includes chapters written by expert contributors. Each chapter defines a particular critical approach and surveys the contributions of that approach to Faulkner studies. Some of the approaches covered are archetypal, biographical, feminist, historical, and psychological, among others. The book closes with a selected, general bibliography and glossary of critical terms.
