Více o knize

Through the lens of contemporary critical theory, this analysis reinterprets Faulkner's literary legacy, questioning traditional notions of canon and mastery. It delves into the complexities of identity formation in his works, highlighting how male subjectivity often marginalizes women and Black characters. By employing poststructuralist, psychoanalytic, ideological, and gender theories, the book reveals that Faulkner's textual universe is shaped by broader cultural discourses, suggesting a shared ownership of meaning rather than an individual claim.
