William Faulkner: His Legend and His Fable
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 August 2009
Extract
In the turbulent world of William Faulkner's fiction there are two storm centers: the Civil War and World War I. Not that many of his stories or novels are written about these two conflicts. Only two of his longer fictions, Absalom, Absalom! (1936) and The Unvanquished (1938) have a Civil War setting and even these are not confined to the period of the War. Yet almost all of his Yoknapatawpha stories and novels have their roots in this war, or, more accurately, in the ambiguous moral realities which this war dramatizes in Faulkner's mind.
