HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> William Faulkner recipient of the 1949 Nobel Prize for Literature is a titan of Modernism whose work redefined the American South. His creation of Yoknapatawpha County provided a microcosm through which to examine themes of class race and the crushing weight of history.<br /> <br /> The Snopes Trilogy is unique in American letters as a work conceived in 1925 and meticulously executed over nineteen years of publication. It documents the transition of the South from a land of agrarian tradition to one of mercantile opportunism. As noted in 'Commentary Magazine' Feb 1960 the trilogy is a summation of a lifetime's work providing the final chapter to Faulkner's mythic Jefferson.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Mississippi History Southern Literature Snopes Family Jefferson Yoknapatawpha County Nobel Prize Authors.
