- Summary:
- Highlighting their sustained attention to elegiac reinvention over the course of their writing careers--from Jacob's Room to The Waves, from The Sound and the Fury to Go Down, Moses--Penner moves beyond biographical and stylistic differences to recognize Faulkner and Woolf's shared role in reshaping elegiac literature in the period following the First World War.
