William Faulkner of Oxford was not a native of Oxford; nor was he born with the name Faulkner. He was born in Albany, Mississippi, at the end of the 19th century, and the family spelled the name Falkner.
He published his first book when he was twenty-seven. In 1950, at the age of fifty-three, he was given the Nobel Prize for Literature (文学). After that he kept on writing and became more successful. He was generally regarded as the great American writer of his time when he died in 1962. Millions of people who read his works thought he had spent almost the whole life in Mississippi. Even the people of Oxford.
Faulkner was a kind of legend (传奇) in his own lifetime. There was, for example, the mystery (不可思议的事物) of who pat the "u" in William’ s last name. For many years the commonly accepted story was that it was a careless printer, in setting type for The Mar be Fun (1924). However, Faulkner’s biographer (传记作者) Carvel Collins said that the writer himself added it, and at least occasionally, as early as in 1918.
