William Faulkner was born in 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi, to a prominent Southern family. A number of his ancestors were involved in the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, and the Reconstruction, and were part of the local railroad industry and political scene.
Faulkner was particularly interested in the decline of the Deep South after the Civil War. Many of his novels explore the deterioration of the Southern aristocracy after the destruction of its wealth and way of life during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Faulkner’s reputation as one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century is largely due to his highly experimental style. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949. He died in Mississippi in 1962.
First published in 1929, The Sound and the Fury concerns the downfall of the Compsons, who have been a prominent family in Jefferson, Mississippi, since before the Civil War. Faulkner represents the human experience by portraying events and images subjectively, through several different characters’ respective memories of childhood. The novel’s stream of consciousness style is frequently very opaque, as events are often deliberately obscured and narrated out of order. In this vidio we'll discuss it in detail.
