It has the potential of reviving formalist studies of Faulkner, which have been overrun recently by other schools of criticism. - Joseph Urgo, author of Faulkner's Apocrypha: A Fable, Snopes, and the Spirit of Human Rebellion.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eNovels like \"\"The Sound and the Fury\"\" and \"\"Absalom, Absalom!\"\" are often thought of as canonical modernist texts antagonistic to traditional notions of plot and storytelling. Blair Labatt, however, argues that Faulkner's fiction, regardless of its modernist gestures, is filled and driven by sophisticated manifestations of plot - willed challenges, structural targets, gambits, designs, and battles - a language of competition and conflict and a syntax of events.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52574273798424,"sku":"9780817353506","price":25.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/faulkner-the-storyteller-paperback-softback-9780817353506","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
