Abstract

The essays in this volume are indicative of the scope of international scholarship concerning the works of William Faulkner. They reflect particularly the distinctive and somewhat varying views that American and European scholars have of the Nobel Prize author. The nine papers included are a representative sampling of those delivered at the First International Colloquium on William Faulkner, convened in March 1980 at the University of Paris, articulating the relationship between Faulkner and idealism. They bear witness to a spectrum of views and approaches one can take in Faulkner's texts. ISBN 0-87805-184-8 : $13.50.
