Reviews

"...splendid in the range of questions it raises and the number of illuminating readings it offers...Faulkner's Subject is a work of considerable scholarship...[Weinstein's] study will be indispensable for further ideological analyses." John N. Duvall, Mississippi Quarterly "Weinstein's readings of all four novels are sensitive, subtle, and at times even impassioned." Susan V. Donaldson, Journal of American History "Philip Weinstein has written a brilliant, candid, timely book, not just about Faulkner as a writer but also about Faulkner as a changing institution of reading and teaching." Richard C. Moreland, Modern Fiction Stories
