Description: Ross explores the nature of voice in Faulkner's fiction by examining the various modes of speech that his texts employ. Beginning with the proposition that voice is deeply involved in the experience of reading Faulkner, Ross uses theoretically grounded notions of voice to propose new ways of explaining how his novels and stories express meaning.
