William Faulkner’ life
William Faulkner(1897-1962)was born in New Albany,Mississippi. He attended the University of Mississippi in Oxford before and after his service in the Royal Canadian Air Force in World I. His literary career began in New Orleans where he met Sherwood Anderson, who helped him get his first novel Soldier’s Pay published in 1926. The work which won Faulkner a Nobel Prize in 1950 is often a depiction of life in his fictional Yoknapatawpha County, an imaginative reconstruction of the area adjacent to Oxford.

Faulkner: A country folk writer
福克纳的作品中交织着一种对家乡的怨恨与不由自主的热爱的情感，这是他写小说的主要动力．
马克斯韦尔说，他“在其他美国小说家也许完全不会自称是南方人的时候，不仅代表了南方，而且本人就是深沉的南方．”
福克纳记述了密西西比州的生活史，把Oxford变成了虚构的“杰弗逊”，创造了一个“约克纳帕塔法县”．这一切在本质上类似于托马斯哈代对英录．
“我发觉”，福克纳评论说，“不但每本书必须有构思，就是一个艺术家的全部作品，或者说整个创作也得有一个通盘的考虑．”
福克纳的作品特点是;人物和地方的反复出现在不同的故事里，开始象是一部南方生活的连续的家世故事：一个生活痛苦，死气沉沉的穷乡僻壤的记录，一个居住着穷苦白人农民，暴发户政客，受尽剥削的黑人佃农和念念不忘光荣过去的没落贵族的地方的记录．
