More about the book
"This Norton Critical Edition of As I Lay Dying, second edition, features William Faulkner's experimental Southern novel with editorial annotations. This canonical twentieth-century work centers on the Bundren family following the death of matriarch Addie Bundren.

The "Backgrounds and Contexts" section covers Faulkner, his work, and early receptions of the novel. A variety of theoretical essays can be found in the "Criticism" section on topics including grief, matricide, and narration.
