Contents The House The Grounds Floor Plans Ground Floor Second Floor Resources and Web Links In 1930 William Faulkner purchased what was then known as "The Bailey Place," a large primitive Greek Revival house that pre-dated the Civil War, standing on four acres of cedars and hardwood. He was fascinated with its history, knowing that it had been built by a Colonel Sheegog from Tennessee who settled in Oxford when it was a tiny frontier settlement of the 1840's. Faulkner renamed it "Rowan Oak." He optioned the surrounding acreage and settled in with his wife Estelle and her two children from a previous marriage, Malcolm and Victoria. Within a few years his own daughter Jill was born, and Rowan Oak was the family home of the Faulkners until 1962, the year of Faulkner's death. In 1972, Jill Faulkner Summers sold the house to the University of Mississippi so it could become a place for people from all over the world to learn about her father's work.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL William Faulkner (1897-1962), who came from an old southern family, grew up in Oxford, Mississippi. He joined the Canadian, and later the British, Royal Air Force during the First World War, studied for a while at the University of Mississippi, and temporarily worked for a New York bookstore and a New Orleans newspaper. Except for some trips to Europe and Asia, and a few brief stays in Hollywood as a scriptwriter, he worked on his novels and short stories on a farm in Oxford. In an attempt to create a saga of his own, Faulkner has invented a host of characters typical of the historical growth and subsequent decadence of the South. The human drama in Faulkner's novels is then built on the model of the actual, historical drama extending over almost a century and a half Each story and each novel contributes to the construction of a whole, which is the imaginary Yoknapatawpha County and its inhabitants. Their theme is the decay of the old South, as represented by the Sartoris and Compson families, and the emergence of ruthless and brash newcomers, the Snopeses. Theme and technique - the distortion of time through the use of the inner monologue are fused particularly successfully in The Sound and the Fury (1929), the downfall of the Compson family seen through the minds of several characters. The novel

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History FAULKNER, WILLIAM , novelist. Considered by many critics to be America's greatest writer, Faulkner wrote novels and stories that are drenched with a sense of history's (and the South's) agonies. He was born in Mississippi to a distinguished family and in high school was a mediocre student whose main interest was football. An older friend introduced him to avant-garde literature, and he soon preferred reading and attempting to write to working in his grandfather's bank. In 1918 he enlisted in the Canadian air force, hoping to see action in World War I, but the war ended before he completed flight training. Faulkner published his undistinguished first novel, Soldier's Pay, in 1926. In his third novel, Sartoris (1929), he hit his stride, creating his fictional realm, Yoknapatawpha County, and a southern family full of foolhardy, suicidally defiant men and suffering, caring women. In his next novels he enlarged this portrait of a South wracked by grief and defeat, clinging to old values while struggling to embrace the harsh rationality of modern capitalist America. Faulkner married this historical imagination to a profound humanism and a readiness to experiment with a wide range of fictional techniques. His books are full of convoluted time sequences and interior monologues, exploring his characters' deepest drives and unrecognized anxieties. Although some critics and reviewers praised his talent, for twenty years Faulkner's novels sold poorly. He made his living with straightforward stories written for magazines and stints as a Hollywood screenwriter. In 1944 Faulkner's career was apparently at a dead end. He seemed doomed to be regarded as a regional writer with a very small following. He was out of step with the social realism and left-leaning ideology that had dominated fiction in the preceding decade.

William Faulkner Quotes : Selections from the master He did not make much of an impression on his mentors when he attended classes as a special student at the University of Mississippi. "Mr. Faulkner, what did Shakespeare have in mind when he put those words in the mouth of Othello?" an English professor once asked him. "How should I know?" he replied. (ALA 65). 1924 quit postmaster at Oxford, Mississippi post office: "As long as I live under the capitalistic system I expect to have my life influenced by the demands of moneyed people. But I will be damned if I propose to be at the beck and call of every itinerant scoundrel who has two cents to invest in a postage stamp. This, sir, is my resignation." (ALA 66). He briefly worked in a New York bookstore in 1921. According to his employer: "He was an excellent book salesman, almost insulting customers who picked up what he considered worthless books, and pressing better books upon them with the words, 'Don't read that trash; read this.'" (ALA 66). To a critic who had written a book analyzing his work Faulkner wrote: "You found implications which I had missed. I wish that I had consciously intended them. I will certainly believe that I did it subconsciously and not by accident." (ALA 67)

Poverty Summary Addie Bundren is dying in Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi. As she dwindles, her five children, husband, a scattering of neighbors and the country doctor move about her. Each is given a chapter named for him or her, to provide evolving and unique viewpoints on Addie's life and death. When Addie has finally breathed her last, the action begins: Anse, Addie's husband, has promised her that she would be buried in Jefferson with her own family. The nuclear family sets out in their old wagon. Floods, injuries, irrational decisions, disagreements, fire, and the full mental collapse of one of the children plague the journey. Addie is eventually buried in Jefferson, but in the process of getting her there, the reader learns the sweet and the sordid about this poverty-stricken and profoundly dysfunctional family. Commentary Typical of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha tales, this story of the poor rural South spares no one. The dialect and use of language make the reading a bit slow, but the structure of the novel becomes a roadmap for the reader. One unique feature of the story is the multiple viewpoint method of construction. From the first person account of each of the characters the reader sees the life of the Bundren family unfold, with all of the discrepancies and varying perceptions of oral histories, based in each member's particular perspective. The story is at once comic and tragica lesson in mankind's ability to survive most anything, and then "get on with living."
