Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. New Edition. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, (1976). New Edition. 8vo. xviii, 222 pages, Index. Cloth. Fine in near fine dj, no owner's name. From dj: "first critical study of Faulkner to examination in depth the theme of evasion and distortion of existence through abstractions." Quoting Walker Percy: "Panthea Broughton examines those abstractions by which we are increasingly alienated from ourselves. She also examines Faulkner's own use of abstractions both in his characters' strategems of avoiding reality and in their authentic use to confront and order the growing chaos of modern life."
