问题 What does Yoknapatwapha County stand for in Faulkner’s novels?

选项

答案(l)In William Faulkner’s writings, the place Yoknapatawpha Country is frequently set as the background for the stories. This place is actually an imaginary place based on Faulkner’s childhood memory about the place where he grew up, the town of Oxford in his native Lafayette Country in the American South. (2)With his rich imagination, Faulkner turned the land, the people and the history of the region into a literary creation and a mythical kingdom. The Yoknapatawpha country series have an overall pattern in which the fate of a ruined homeland always focuses on the collision of Faulkner’s intelligent, sensitive, and idealistic protagonist with the society of the twentieth century. Most of the major themes are directly related to this confrontation in Faulkner’s novels.
