Description:
Many of William Styron's strengths as a writer come from those that we associate with Southern fiction. Baroque rhetoric powers his narratives: Faulkner's ghost lingers in his language. He evokes the kind of doomed, guilt redden landscapes we associate with the Southern vision os the world..... VIVA MODERN CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS presents the best current criticism on the most widely read and studied poems, novels and dramas of the Western world, from Oedipus Rex and the Iliad to such modern and contemporary works as William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury and Don Delillo's White Noise.
Target Audience:
Students of Literature, English Department & Libraries.
