A real contribution to the study of Faulkners work. Edmund WilsonA Penguin ClassicIn prose of biblical grandeur and feverish intensity, William Faulkner reconstructed the history of the American South as a tragic legend of courage and cruelty, gallantry and greed, futile nobility and obscene crimes. He set this legend in a small, minutely realized parallel universe that he called Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi.No single volume better conveys the scope of Faulkners vision than The Portable Faulkner. The book includes selfcontained episodes from the novels The Sound and the Fury, Light in August, and Sanctuary; the stories The Bear, Spotted Horses, A Rose for Emily, and Old Man, among others; a map of Yoknapatawpha County and a chronology of the Compson family created by Faulkner especially for this edition; and the complete text of Faulkners 1950 address upon receiving the Nobel Prize in literature. Malcolm Cowleys critical introduction was praised as splendid by Faulkner himself.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.
