Review

...there is nothing to fault in this impressive volume. The methodology of the book is flawless, and the wording of the entries is lucid and economical. Meticulously researched, effectively designed...this is a major contribution to Faulknerian scholarship.>>> (James E. Miller Journal Of Modern Literature )

Connolly's book is a splendid addition to Faulkner scholarship. There have been many attempts to classify Faulkner's characters, but none as complete as this, or as scholarly....I predict that it will soon be recognized as an indispensable scholarly tool for all Faulkner scholars.>>> (Walter Taylor Journal Of Modern Literature )

It's clear that Connolly was working on and working up to this book for decades.>>>> (Walter Taylor American Literature )

Connolly's very specialized reference tool, of primary interest to Faulkner scholars and advocates, seems to be the superior work of its kind to date.>>>> (Walter Taylor Choice )

Clearly the best basic reference on Faulkner. It is comprehensive, accurate, easy to use. Students and scholars interested in Faulkner will find it indispensable.>>>> (James E. Miller )
