in "Form and Fable in American Fiction, " Daniel Hoffman demonstrated the relationship between the literary imagination in America and our myths, fables, and folktales. Reasserting and deepening the thesis of that study in "Faulkner's Country Matters, " Hoffman provides rich readings of "The Unvanquished, " "The Hamlet, " and "Go Down, Moses, " and at the same time offers a moving, often profound meditation on the American sense of history as myth and myth as history. Appearing at a moment when Faulker studies are dominated by a rage for theorizing about literature, Hoffman's new book returns us to the actual source of the author's imagination.
