Acknowledgments W ith sincere gratitude, we acknowledge our friends and colleagues who have graciously helped us in preparing Critical Companion to William Faulkner Because of their assistance, our task was all the easier We add their names here along with the names of those who aided us in the writing of William Faulkner A to Z, this book’s predecessor: Don Bowden, Matthew J Bruccoli, J D Chapman, Wenhui Chen, Cynthia Cox, Joan Crane, Christina Deane, Larry Donato, Kathleen Duffy, Alessandro Fargnoli, Gioia Fargnoli, Giuliana Fargnoli, Harriett Fargnoli, Sister Elizabeth Gill, O.P., Joel Greenberg, Gregory A Johnson, Robert Kinpoitner, Mark Lerner, Robert Martin, Trisha O’Neill, Brian Quinn, Regina Rush, Norman Weil, and the Reference Department at the Great Neck Library Special recognition and gratitude must be given to Jeff Soloway, executive editor at Facts On File, whose insights and professionalism are equaled only to his patience Gratitude is also owed to Anne Savarese, our previous editor, who facilitated the publication of William Faulkner A to Z; to the Committee for Faculty Scholarship and Academic Advancement at Molloy College for funds to help with photo-reproduction costs; and to Southeast Missouri State University for its support for this project When writing William Faulkner A to Z, we acknowledged Eva Weber of Northampton, Mass., for having contributed to the entries on 39 Faulkner short works from the Collected Stories and Uncollected Stories; a debt of gratitude is again mentioned vii INTRODUCTION AND GUIDE TO USE C ritical Companion to William Faulkner is an expanded and updated version of William Faulkner A to Z More than 80,000 words have been added to the text Character entries throughout the book and Critical Commentary sections on Faulkner’s major works have been significantly expanded, and entirely new sections providing excerpts from contemporary reviews have been added Other new features include further-reading lists for Faulkner’s major novels and short stories and an appendix providing a detailed chronology of one of Faulkner’s greatest and most complicated works, As I Lay Dying In addition, the text throughout has been revised and augmented in the light of the latest scholarship Joining the authors of the previous edition is Robert W Hamblin of the Center for Faulkner Studies at Southeast Missouri State University The organization of the text also differs in this new volume In keeping with Facts On File’s Critical Companion series, the entries in this book are categorically arranged to assist the reader, especially the student reader, in finding information quickly and easily Part I contains a short biography of Faulkner Part II consists of entries on Faulkner’s works; most entries contain composition and publication information, a synopsis and critical analysis, and descriptions of important characters and some related items Entries on major works also contain excerpts from selected contemporary reviews Part III contains entries, in alphabetical order, on people, places, events, and topics related to Faulkner Fictional places that appear in several of Faulkner’s works, such as Yoknapatawpha County, appear here; a few fictional places that are specific to an individual work appear as subentries to the main work entry in Part II Part IV contains the appendixes including, among other things, primary and secondary bibliographies, library holdings, Faulkner’s appendix to The Sound and the Fury and his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, and a dateline References to works covered in entries in Part II or to related items covered in entries in Part III are given in SMALL CAPITAL LETTERS the first time they appear in any entry Like its predecessor, Critical Companion to William Faulkner offers the general reader and nonspecialist a clear and organized supplement to the reading of William Faulkner’s works Faulkner is one of the most important literary figures in American literature and is recognized worldwide as a stylistic innovator, but his work can also be bewildering at times because of his complex, sometimes convoluted, prose style and narrative techniques Understanding his plots, themes, and characters can be difficult for any reader The primary goal of this volume is to assist students and general readers in their quest to understand, enjoy, and situate in a larger literary and historical context the works and ix 548 Critical Companion to William Faulkner Edmonds, Carothers (continued) in “Race at Morning” 216 in The
