Faulkner: a Biographical Masterpiece
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Gray more than does justice to Faulkner's literary prowess! He delves deep into the mindset of Faulkner and the South during the pre and post Civil War time frame. Gray also deals with Faulkner's social commentary, and creative imagination when portraying characters. ALL in all, a superb biography and critical study!
