书籍介绍

威廉·福克纳于1929年出版的小说《喧哗与骚动》具有挑衅性和高深莫测的特点，被广泛认为是20世纪重要的英语小说。这一修订和扩大诺顿评论版建立在其前任的优势，同时关注小说的当代接受和其丰富的文化和历史背景。第三版的文本还是诺尔·波尔克精心准备的修正文本，他的文本注释在小说之前。大卫·明特的注释，旨在帮助读者模糊的词和典故，被保留。

本书探讨了福克纳这部杰出小说出版后所引起的广泛反应。福克纳的新材料(“作家和他的作品”)包括给马尔科姆·考利关于可携带的福克纳的信件和福克纳的诺贝尔文学奖演讲。《文化和历史背景》以迈克尔·戈拉富有洞察力的批注开始，随后是对南方历史、文学和记忆的七个重要思考——其中五个是第三版的新思考，并为读者理解这部小说提供了重要的背景。

William Faulkner's provocative and enigmatic 1929 novel, The Sound and the Fury, is widely acknowledged as one of the most important English-language novels of the twentieth century. This revised and expanded Norton Critical Edition builds on the strengths of its predecessors while focusing new attention on both the novel's contemporary reception and its rich cultural and historical contexts. The text for the Third Edition is again that of the corrected text scrupulously prepared by Noel Polk, whose textual note precedes the novel. David Minter's annotations, designed to assist readers with obscure words and allusions, have been retained.

"Contemporary Reception," new to the Third Edition, considers the broad range of reactions to Faulkner's extraordinary novel on publication. Michael Gorra's headnote sets the stage for assessments by Evelyn Scott, Henry Nash Smith, Clifton P. Fadiman, Dudley Fitts, Richard Hughes, and Edward Crickmay. New materials by Faulkner ("The Writer and His Work") include letters to Malcolm Cowley about The Portable Faulkner and Faulkner's Nobel Prize for Literature address. "Cultural and Historical Contexts" begins with Michael Gorra's insightful headnote, which is followed by seven seminal considerations-five of them new to the Third Edition-of southern history, literature, and memory. Together, these works-by C. Vann Woodward, Richard H. King, Richard Gray, William Alexander Percy, Lillian Smith, William James, and Henri Bergson-provide readers with important contexts for understanding the novel.

"Criticism" represents eighty-five years of scholarly engagement with The Sound and the Fury. New to the Third Edition are essays by Eric Sundquist, Noel Polk, Doreen Fowler, Richard Godden, Stacy Burton, and Maria Truchan-Tataryn.

A Chronology of Faulkner's life and work is newly included along with an updated Selected Bibliography.
