The southern American novels come into being in the 1920s. With its unique historical and cultural background, deep spiritual tradition and unique style of art greatly enriched American realist literature. Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Hemingway and the grand master William Faulkner were the typical representatives in this area.

In the first half of the 20th century, realistic novels compiled a brilliant page in the American literature. American writers have grasped the breadth and depth drawing a picture of society on their collective intelligence. Their achievements are surely unprecedented and thus its influence still lasts until now.
2 William Faulkner’s life experience and artistic creations
2.1Family
  Faulkner's great grandfather, Colonel William Falkner was born in 1825, and moved to the state of Mississippi at the age of fourteen. He inherited his father's railroad fortune and became first an Assistant U.S. Attorney, and later the president of the First National Bank of Oxford, Mississippi. He was also a politician, a soldier, a writer and a pioneer who was involved in several murder trials, including two he was accused of. During the Civil War he recruited a Confederate regiment and was elected as a colonel, but his arrogance caused his troops to demote him, so he was left to recruit another regiment. After the war he became involved in the railroad business and made a great deal of money. He bought a plantation and began to write books, one of which became a bestseller. He ran for Mississippi state legislature in 1889, but his opponent shot and killed him before the election. The stories of Faulkner’s great father never became old to him. It was always mysterious and legendary. He was a profound and competent man, who made tales of marvels in the southern America in the late 19th century. He was alcoholic but somehow had the influence on his great son, who became a big fan of alcoholic too. Faulkner paid much attention to his great father, and thus added a “u” in his name. Undoubtedly, his great father became the one who gave great impact on Faulkner’s life and writing career. Faulkner took pride of himself as the son of great-grand father. One of the figures “Colonel John” in Faulkner’ works remained a portrait of his great-grand father.原文请+QQ324,9114 辣.文^论,文'网

Though born in a royal family, his father was considered as a descendent of the family who was running out of a proper way. He changed his jobs all the time but never found his own place. Faulkner’s mother, however, was a self-determined and stagnant woman. The self-respected mother fought with father all the time. Since his childhood, Faulkner had to make the choice between weaknesses and resolute, which made him suffer from the agony of spilt in mentality.毕业论文http://www.751com.cn/

William Faulkner was born in September 25, 1897, New Albany, Mississippi. He was the first of four sons to Murry Cuthbert Falkner and Maud Butler. When he just had his first birthday celebrated, he moved to the Ripley County with his parents. On September 21, 1902, only four days prior to his fifth birthday, the Faulkner family settled in Oxford, Mississippi again, where he spared the rest of his childhood, entire adult and most of the grown-up career. He died due to a myocardial infarction at age 64   in Byhalia, Mississippi.

William Faulkner enjoyed much wider living areas than that where he was born and died. Though He had sometimes in his life lived in Canada, New Orleans, California and Virginia, New York, and visited Paris in the 1920s, and the style of his writing was deeply influenced by the regional conception. Family experiences, life adventures and local obsessions remained the motivational source in his writing creations.
