4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent source for students!, May 10, 2000

By	Hallie Smith "seamstress with opinions" (San Jose, California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, Bloom's Short Story Writers edition on William Faulkner, was exactly what I had been looking for. I needed to write a paper comparing criticisms on one author, and this book was perfect. It contains several different critical essays centered around three of Faulkner's works, and the essays provide drastically different types of criticisms. Some are favorable, some are not, but all of them are well written, and excellent for anyone looking for a greater insight into the works of William Faulkner.
