Description

Faulkner: The House Divided is a detailed study of William Faulkner's complex attitudes toward the Civil War and racial issues in America. Eric Sundquist examines the novelist's gradual discovery and artistic mastery of these problems, exploring how they relate to his own history and that of his country. Through readings of six novels, including The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Sanctuary, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom!, and Go Down, Moses, Sundquist probes Faulkner's responses to tragedy, Jim Crow laws, racial violence, and segregation. He reveals how Faulkner's novels express the tragic passions and human sympathies that governed relationships between Blacks and whites. This study provides a nuanced understanding of Faulkner's work and its relevance to American history and culture.
