Description

Book Synopsis
A comprehensive examination of Faulkner's mythical county. It examines: recurrent symbols and archetypes in Faulkner's fiction; and 'the basic Christian humanism which underlies Williams Faulkner's existential focus on the human condition' - specifically as it relates to Time, Motion, and Change.

Trade Review
"The book is scholarly, well written, and carefully organized.Highly recommended." - Choice "Aiming for the universal in Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha fiction, this book reads somewhat like an annotated bibliography, or three bibliographies: one on symbols in Yoknapatawpha, citing (copiously) dissertations, articles, and books on symbolism in general and Faulkner's own symbols; one on various myths Kerr and other critics have noticed in Yoknapatawpha; and one on the 'total meaning' of the Yoknapatawpha myth as an individualistic, existential, Christian humanism." - University Publishing
