William Faulkner Short Stories

Short tales by William Faulkner are a great way to get into his main works. Even though his novels are better recognized and read, many of the same characters and concepts appear in his short tales. Faulkner was born on September 25, 1897, in New Albany, Mississippi. Still, his family relocated to Oxford, Mississippi, which he renamed Jefferson in his writing and used as the location for nearly all of his books and short tales. Faulkner was born into a long, proud, and illustrious Mississippi family that included a governor, a Confederate Army colonel, and essential business pioneers. Colonel William Clark Falkner, his great-grandfather (the "u" was added to Faulkner's name by mistake when his first novel was published). If you are looking for William Faulkner books made into movies, visit our website to know more.  

During the early nineteenth century, he emigrated from Tennessee to Mississippi, and he kept the misspelling. In Faulkner's fiction, Colonel Falkner, Colonel John Sartoris, had a notable career as a soldier, serving in both the Mexican War and the American Civil War. His fierce temper prompted him to be demoted from colonel to lieutenant colonel during the Civil War. Falkner was extensively involved in events during Reconstruction, the twelve years after the Civil War ended in 1865 when the Union administered the secessionist Confederate states before allowing them to re-enter the Union. During this time, he killed multiple guys and became a well-known figure. He handled the financing and building of the first post-Civil War railroad in the South with a partner, but the partnership ended following a fight with his partner. Falkner went against this former business buddy for the state legislature and soundly defeated him. The past is never dead William Faulkner is one of the most excellent and inspiring works that classic novel lovers still read. 

 

Faulkner traveled extensively and visited places of literary importance to experiencing people's life, culture, and stories. In 1927, Faulkner traveled to Europe. He saw Oscar Wilde's tomb in Paris and spent a lot of time at Kent in England. He visited the coffee houses frequented by Christopher Marlowe and Charles Dickens. Faulkner's Stream of Consciousness technique was an inspiration that he imbibed from the writings of James Joyce's Ulysses (1923) and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (1925). The method incorporated in his novels turns his work into a mastered piece. His stories hold significance because of their various narrative voices. Nobel Prize-winning author Faulkner is also credited with winning not just one but also two Pulitzer prizes, one of which he won posthumously.

 

Faulkner has always been praised for his brilliance & originality for wisely choosing the themes planted in his novels. He cleverly uses symbolism to reveal the conflict between old and new ideas with intense, emotional, and insightful social meaning. These aspects of his writing style make him one of the most prominently brilliant writers of all time, both at American doors and on the global stage.
