| Summary: | This Norton Critical Edition of As I Lay Dying, second edition, features William Faulkner's experimental Southern novel with editorial annotations. This canonical twentieth-century work centers on the Bundren family following the death of matriarch Addie Bundren. The story uses fifteen separate and largely unreliable narrators to describe the arduous trip that the surviving members of the family make to bury Addie in Jefferson, Mississippi. The "Backgrounds and Contexts" section covers Faulkner, his work and early receptions of the novel. A variety of theoretical essays can be found in the "Criticism" section on topics including grief, matricide and narration. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included in this edition. |
