AB This BA dissertation presents an overview of the critical heritage of ‘A Rose for Emily’by William Faulkner. It selects, examines, and analyses the most representative andinfluential pieces of criticism published on the work, be they published in newspapers,literary magazines, or scholarly journals, from the time of its first edition in 1930 to thecritical readings of the 1990s. It defends that, by solving the earliest critical concernsabout the style and atmosphere of the short story, it was the work of the New Critics andStructuralists of the 1950s that established its canonical reception as a piece ofinnovative narrative technique. The new Structuralist revisions of the 70s refined theirconclusions, while the psychoanalytical, feminist and gender analyses of the 80s and90s attempted to illuminate those intriguing aspects of the work that remained obscure,like the motivations behind the actions of its main characters.
