-Without losing sight of the many important historical and psychological arguments developed by critics of Faulkner in recent decades, the contributors to Faulkner and Formalism, in one excellent essay after another, bring us back to what makes him a great novelist--his mastery of the word, the sentence, the paragraph, the very form of fiction.---Eric J. Sundquist, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, Department of English, Johns Hopkins University -'The text is back!' proclaims just one of these sparkling essays, but what these latest contributions to Faulkner scholarship really celebrate are the riches that continue to be mined by close readings of Faulkner's immense work, whether inspired by critical race theory, poststructuralism, or formalist aesthetics. The contributors to this volume bring to their own close readings a wealth of new insights about Faulkner's own attention to form and aesthetics, and the result is a collection that will ably serve classroom teachers and scholars alike.---Susan V.
