Description

“With the Norton Critical Edition of Absalom, Absalom!, Susan Scott Parrish has set a new standard for studying Faulkner’s masterwork that will benefit both students and researchers in the decades to come. Situating this most difficult of novels in its historical, authorial, and critical contexts is no easy feat, but it is one that Parrish has accomplished with grace and aplomb. An astounding achievement!” —Dr. Ahmed Honeini, Royal Holloway, University of London

“Parrish’s indispensable edition offers students and professors a wealth of historical and cultural information about Faulkner’s greatest novel. Including the authoritative text, relevant short stories by Faulkner, crucial contextual material, and some of the most important criticism, this volume deserves a place on every Americanist’s bookshelf. This will be the definitive edition of Absalom, Absalom! for years to come.” —Harilaos Stecopoulos, University of Iowa
