Klappentext

A bold book, built of close readings, striking in its range and depth, The Signifying Eye shows William Faulkner's art take shape in sweeping arcs of social, labour, and aesthetic history. Beginning with long-unpublished works and early novels, working through many major works, and including more popular fictions and late novels The Signifying Eye reveals Faulkner's visual obsessions with artistic creation as his work is read next to Wharton, Cather, Toomer, and Willem de Kooning.
