This issue of Mosaic offers a contribution to the “critical interpretation of William Faulkner that proceeds by many paths; they not only complement each other but suggest additionally the richness of the territory traversed.” The paths taken here include: a historical approach to Soldier’s Play; Faulkner’s search for his form and style in Sartoris; careful readings of The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Sanctuary, Light in August, and Absalom, Absalom!; a psychological reading of the Snopes trilogy; and a structuralist reading of Pylon.
