Summary
William Faulkner: Sartoris
Faulkner's novel "Sartoris", 1929, tells the story of a distinguished family of that name, which begins his saga of Yoknapatawpha and the town of Jefferson. Faulkner built a historical, symbolic and mythical world on the unusually accurately described and lived life of his region in every detail. With prose of biblical magnitude and feverish intensity, William Faulkner created, as one critic put it, "a cosmos that no one owns".
