Designed to be an accessible study of Faulkner's life and work, it is aimed at both students and general readers.

The Achievement of William Faulkner.

"A well-researched, engrossing history and critique of biographies of women...A significant and provocative contribution to postfeminist literary criticism." --Kirkus Reviews "An insightful introduction to the art of biography by and about women...Recommended." --Library Journal "An exhaustive survey of the issues, problems, and ethical dilemmas faced by biographers, and ...a compelling reflection on the framing of any interpretive project, on the questions of voice and perspective, selection and organization, objectivity and invention." --Signs "This intelligent analysis of women's biographies is insightful, fascinating, and much needed...Anyone will read women's biographies with a fresh eye after this." --Choice "A compelling analysis of the power structures and unspoken personal investments that define biography as a genre and as a cultural institution." --Shari Benstock, author of Women of the Left Bank and "No Gifts from Chance": A Biography of Edith Wharton "An insider's view of biographers at work, complete with lively revelations about what doesn't go into print. I read it with pleasure and admiration." --Diane Middlebrook, author of Anne Sexton: A Biography "A splendidly engrossing story-about-how-to-tell-a-story. This is an engaging book of ideas and gossip, humor and new information, people and publishing--by a woman biographer who seems to know everything about everyone." --Emily Toth, author of Kate Chopin: A Life of the Author of "The Awakening" Placing herself in the avid reader's chair, Linda Wagner-Martin writes about women's biography from George Eliot and Virgina Woolf to Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Mead, and even to Cher and Elizabeth Taylor. Along the way, she looks at dozens of other life stories, probing at the differences between biographies of men and women, prevailing stereotypes about women's lives and roles, questions about what is public and private, and hazy margins between autobiography, biography, and other genres. Linda Wagner-Martin is Hanes Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina. She is the author of "Favored Strangers": Gertrude Stein and Her Family, Sylvia Plath: A Biography, and other books.

A Historical Guide to Ernest Hemingway

From Anne Bradstreet's The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America in the seventeenth century, to Toni Morrison's Nobel Prize in 1993, women writers have woven a rich tapestry of voices across four centuries of American history. Their writings have embraced a marvellous diversity of visions, including those of Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Maya Angelou, Edith Wharton, Adrienne Rich, and Willa Cather. The Oxford Companion to Women's Writing in the United States provides a comprehensive, authoritative, and highly informative survey of these writers and their work as it illuminates the issues that fired their imaginations. Over eight hundred entries, ranging from brief identifications to extensive essays, offer a goldmine of information about women's writing, women's history, and women's concerns. The contributors - many of whom are well-known writers such as Susan Faludi, Deborah Tannen, Jane Gallop, and Nell Irvin Painter - provide not only biographical entries on poets, novelists, and playwrights, but also offer extensive coverage of the many personal, cultural, and historical issues that have been explored by and have influenced the lives and productivity of women writers. AIDS, race and racism, violence and sexual harassment, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement are just some of the subjects examined. From Betty Friedan to Alice Walker, children's literature to lesbian drama, The Oxford Companion to Women's Writing in the United States paints a fascinating and remarkably diverse portrait of women and women's writing in America.
