Collected Poetry and Prose Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Jerome J. McGann

In this clear-sighted and enjoyable book, Cleanth Brooks, acknowledged to be "the best critic of our best novelist," introduces the general reader to Faulkner's most important novels and stories: The Sound and the Fury; As I lay Dying; The Hamlet; Go Down, Moses; Light in August; and Absalom, Absalom! Brooks focuses on theme, character, and plot as well as on Faulkner's world-the fictional Yoknapatawpha County that provides a unique setting for Faulkner's tragicomic vision.

Jerome McGann, John Stewart Bryan University Professor at the University of Virginia, is also the author of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Game That Must Be Lost, published by Yale University Press (ISBN 0 300 08023 9, [pound]25.00*).

"This is the most coherent and intelligible selection of Rossetti's work available in print, and it has the most interpretatively suggestive notes. Its inclusion of important writings not available elsewhere will expand the current understanding of Rossetti." Elizabeth Helsinger, University of Chicgo
