The Falkner family history is typical of the struggle of the American pioneer: fraught with sickness, violence, despair, fortune, and war. This history presented a variety of colorful incidents and people who would appear in somewhat altered forms as events and characters in William Faulkner's literature, as was the case with the "Old Colonel," William Clark Falkner, William Faulkner's great-grandfather, dead for eight years at the time William Cuthbert Faulkner was born, September 25, 1897. Faulkner's birth truly marked the end of an era and the beginning of another. Between 1897, when Faulkner was born in New Albany, and 1903, when Faulkner moved to Oxford just three days shy of his fifth birthday, Oxford's first telephones were installed. The first water tower also went up at that time, providing Oxford residents sewage and plumbing. Oxford turned on to electricity in 1908. As Faulkner grew up in Oxford, "a shy and troubled boy who would become a shy and troubled man, " according to biographer David Minterworking in his father's livery stable, dropping out of high school, meeting his sweetheart, Estelle Oldham, who he would later wed, enrolling as a student at the University of Mississippihis views would be shaped dramatically and continually by family and local life.

Creative Americans: Portraits by Van Vechten, 1932-1964 Novelist William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25 , 1897. He spent much of his youth in Oxford where his father was employed as the business manager for the University of Mississippi. Creator of the legendary Yoknapatawpha County and its population of decayed Southern white gentry, merchants, farmers, poor whites, and persecuted blacks, Faulkner told about the South, and of how Southerners continue to carry the burden of its history. William Faulkner left high school before graduating and attended university only briefly, dropping out in the first semester of his sophomore year. Despondent over a love affair and inspired by aspirations for military glory, he joined the Canadian Royal Air Force but never saw active service. Upon returning to Oxford, he was appointed postmaster of the University of Mississippi, a job he proved unable to maintain.

Home Books Reviews Tutorials ... Subscribe here for our free email newsletter William Faulkner a guide to his writing William Faulkner Much of his fictional output centres on an imaginary part of the south which he called Yoknapatwapha County. He was also partly responsible for generating the modern version of the literary genre called 'Southern Gothic' - stories which often feature grotesque scenes, violence and horror, distorted characters, melodrama, and sensationalism. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949, but like his contemporary Ernest Hemingway, his reputation seems not to be wearing too well with time. As I Lay Dying (1930) is a good point to start. It charts the journey of a poor family to bury their mother Addie Bundren in Jefferson. They make the coffin themselves and survive crossing the flooded Yoknapatwapha river, a fire, and other largely self-inflicted problems, to finally reach their goal. The novel is told in the rapidly intercut voices of the family members - including the dead mother. It is simultaneously funny, and tragic - a small scale epic which Faulkner wrote in the space of six weeks. The Sound and The Fury is generally regarded as his greatest work. It is a narrative tour de force in which Faulkner views the decline of the south through the point of view of four characters. The novel centres on the once-aristocratic Compson family, who appear in his other novels. The siblings Quentin and Caddy fall from a state of innocence and succumb to the family pattern of incest, erotomania, and suicide. One of their brothers is severely mentally handicapped. The first part of the novel is told from his point of view - and of course he 'sees' the truth of much that is going on. The other narrator is the black servant who is powerless but 'endures'. It is a work of astonishing brilliance, written in a sombre and lyrical mood.

Biography Base Home Link To Us Search Biographies: Browse Biographies A B C D ... Z William Faulkner Biography William Falkner (September 25, 1897 - July 6, 1962) was a novelist from the Southern United States. Biography William Falkner wrote works of psychological drama and emotional depth, typically with long serpentine prose and high, meticulously-chosen diction. Like most prolific authors, he suffered the envy and scorn of others, and was considered to be the stylistic rival to Ernest Hemingway (his long sentences contrasted to Hemingway's short, 'minimalist' style). He is perhaps also considered to be the only true American Modernist prose fiction writer of the 1930s, following in experimental tradition European writers such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Marcel Proust, and known for using groundbreaking literary devices such as stream of consciousness, multiple narrations or points of view, and time-shifts within narrative. Faulkner was born William Falkner (no "U") in New Albany, Mississippi, and raised in and heavily influenced by that state, as well as the general ambience of the South. Mississippi marked his sense of humor, his sense of the tragic position of Blacks and Whites, his keen characterization of usual Southern characters and his timeless themes, one of them being that fiercely intelligent people dwelled behind the facade of good old boys and simpletons. An early editor misspelled Falkner's name as "Faulkner", and the author decided to keep the spelling. Faulkner's most celebrated novels include The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Light in August (1932), The Unvanquished (1938), and Absalom, Absalom! (1936), usually considered his masterpiece. Faulkner was a prolific writer of short stories: his first short story collection, These 13 (1931), includes many of his most acclaimed (and most frequently anthologized) stories, including "A Rose for Emily," "Red Leaves," "That Evening Sun," and "Dry September." During the 1930s, in an effort to make money, Faulkner crafted a sensationalist "pulp" novel entitled Sanctuary (first published in 1931). Its themes of evil and corruption (bearing Southern Gothic tones), resonate to this day. A sequel to the book, Requiem for a Nun, is the only play that he has published. It involves an introduction that is actually one sentence that spans for a couple pages. He received a Pulitzer Prize for A Fable, and won a National Book Award (posthumously) for his Collected Stories.

William Faulkner William Faulkner was born September 25, 1897 in Albany, Miss. A high school and college dropout, Faulkner brought the South to life through fictitious Yoknapatawpha County.

55. Erskine Caldwell Biography william faulkner thought him one of America s five greatest novelists, and as late as 1960, Caldwell was under consideration for the Nobel Prize http://id.mind.net/~fletch/biography.html

Erskine Caldwell Biography "All I wanted to do was tell a story, to tell it to the best of my ability." - - Erskine Caldwell Erskine Caldwell is one of the most widely read authors of the Twentieth Century, with eighty million books sold to readers in forty-three different languages. His novel God's Little Acre alone has sold over fourteen million copies. His books have been made into three movies, and the stage adaptation of Tobacco Road made American theatre history when it ran for seven-and-a-half years on Broadway. Caldwell is the author of 25 novels, 150 short stories and 12 nonfiction books. His themes were centered around social injustice in terms of class, race, and gender - - remarkably, the very same issues we still wrestle with today. His method varied from the fantastically grotesque to the perversely comic, to the grimly realistic. In the early 1930's, he became the most controversial - - and one of the most censored - - American writers of his time. When the New York Society for the Prevention of Vice tried to ban God's Little Acre , Caldwell took the case to court. With help from the testimony of H.L. Mencken and Sherwood Anderson, he won his case - - a landmark in First Amendment litigation.

William Faulkner Speech Accepting the Nobel Prize in Literature originally delivered December 10, 1950 in Stockholm Sweden Version #1 Version #2 Audio mp3 of Original Address Audio mp3 of Recorded Reading of Address Les Prix Nobel 1950 published transcript [AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio version #2.] I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work a life's work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing. Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.
