William Faulkner U no de los novelistas estadounidenses más importantes de este siglo, famoso por sus cerca de veinte novelas en las que retrata el conflicto trágico entre el viejo y el nuevo sur de su país. El mayor de cuatro hermanos de una familia tradicional sureña, nació en New Albany (Mississippi) el 25 de septiembre de 1897 y creció en las cercanías de Oxford. En 1915 abandonó el colegio, que detestaba, para trabajar en el banco de su abuelo. En la I Guerra Mundial ingresó en las fuerzas aéreas de Canadá sin llegar nunca a entrar en acción. A su regreso ingresó como veterano en la Universidad de Mississippi, que pronto abandonó para dedicarse a escribir viviendo de trabajos ocasionales. En 1924 publicó por su cuenta El fauno de mármol , un libro de poemas poco originales. Al año siguiente viajó a Nueva Orleans donde trabajó como periodista y conoció al escritor de cuentos estadounidense Sherwood Anderson, que le ayudó a encontrar un editor para su primera novela, La paga de los soldados (1926), y le convenció para que escribiera acerca de la gente y los lugares que conocía mejor. Esta novela narra la historia de un soldado joven que vuelve a casa después de la I Guerra Mundial, inválido física y mentalmente, y cómo su enfermedad y muerte posterior afectan a su familia y amigos. Después de un breve viaje por Europa volvió a casa y comenzó a escribir su serie de novelas barrocas e inquietantes, ambientadas en el condado ficticio de Yoknapatawpha (inspirado en el condado de Lafayette, Mississippi), habitándolo con sus propios antepasados, indios, negros, oscuros ermitaños provincianos y groseros blancos pobres. En la primera de estas novelas

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.

Y E N R A SM Quotations YENRA Quotations William Faulkner Quotes : Selections from the master - December 30, 2003 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)

Born in New Albany, Mississippi, on September 25,1897, he spent most of his life in Mississippi and built many of his short stories and novels around his observations and experiences of life in the South. Faulkner's mythical Yoknapatawpha County serves as the locale for many of his stories and is so well known both in print and in motion pictures as to deserve a real place on the map. Myth or not, it will always survive on the literary map of the United States because of Faulkner's technical brilliance and gift for storytelling.

How is this web site organized? ... What if I find a mistake in this web site? Who was William Faulkner? William Faulkner on the Web is intended as an evolving guide to the life and works of William Faulkner, by all accounts one of America's greatest writers. His apocryphal Yoknapatawpha County , setting for most of his fiction and patterned after his real-life home in Oxford and Lafayette County, Mississippi, is perhaps the most famous address in American literature; it is a familiar location to literature students of all ages who encounter it in such often-anthologized stories as " Barn Burning " and " A Rose for Emily ." Cinema buffs still enjoy films such as To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep which Faulkner co-wrote. Visitors from around the world come here to visit Rowan Oak , his home in Oxford, and to attend the annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference at the University of Mississippi each August. Most important, though, are his novels —

FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors William Faulkner (1897-1962) An Outline of American Literature: by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Modernism and Experimentation: Authors: William Faulkner (1897-1962) Index Born to an old southern family, William Harrison Faulkner was raised in Oxford, Mississippi, where he lived most of his life. Faulkner created an entire imaginative landscape, Yoknapatawpha County, mentioned in numerous novels, along with several families with interconnections extending back for generations. Yoknapatawpha County, with its capital, "Jefferson," is closely modeled on Oxford, Mississippi, and its surroundings. Faulkner re-creates the history of the land and the various races Indian, African-American, Euro-American, and various mixtures who have lived on it. An innovative writer, Faulkner experimented brilliantly with narrative chronology, different points of view and voices (including those of outcasts, children, and illiterates), and a rich and demanding baroque style built of extremely long sentences full of complicated subordinate parts. The best of Faulkner's novels include The Sound and the Fury (1929) and As I Lay Dying (1930), two modernist works experimenting with viewpoint and voice to probe southern families under the stress of losing a family member;

Faulkner, William, Faulkner Robert CapaMagnum in full WILLIAM CUTHBERT FAULKNER, original surname FALKNER (b. Sept. 25, 1897, New Albany, Miss., U.S.d. July 6, 1962, Byhalia, Miss.), American novelist and short-story writer who was awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize for Literature Youth and early writings. As the eldest of the four sons of Murry Cuthbert and Maud Butler Falkner, William Faulkner (as he later spelled his name) was well aware of his family background and especially of his great-grandfather, Colonel William Clark Falkner, a colourful if violent figure who fought gallantly during the Civil War, built a local railway, and published a popular romantic novel called The White Rose of Memphis . Born in New Albany, Miss., Faulkner soon moved with his parents to nearby Ripley and then to the town of Oxford, the seat of Lafayette county, where his father later became business manager of the University of Mississippi. In Oxford he experienced the characteristic open-air upbringing of a Southern white youth of middle-class parents: he had a pony to ride and was introduced to guns and hunting. A reluctant student, he left high school without graduating but devoted himself to "undirected reading," first in isolation and later under the guidance of Phil Stone, a family friend who combined study and practice of the law with lively literary interests and was a constant source of current books and magazines.

52. William Faulkner: Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech This is a copy of the acceptance speech by william faulkner for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/faulkner/faulkner.html

William Faulkner "No matter how piercing and appalling his insights, the desolation creeping over his outer world, the lurid lights and shadows of his inner world, the writer must live with hope, work in faith." J.B. Priestley "I decline to accept the end of man." William Faulkner: Nobel Prize Speech Stockholm, Sweden December 10, 1950 "All his life William Faulkner had avoided speeches, and insisted that he not be taken as a man of letters. 'I'm just a farmer who likes to tell stories.' he once said. Because of his known aversion to making formal pronouncements, there was much interest, when he traveled to Stockholm to receive the prize on December 10, 1950, in what he would say in the speech that custom obliged him to deliver. Faulkner evidently wanted to set right the misinterpretation of his own work as pessimistic. But beyond that, he recognized that, as the first American novelist to receive the prize since the end of World War II, he had a special obligation to take the changed situation of the writer, and of man, into account." Richard Ellmann I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my worka 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 where I am standing.
