Hailed by critics and scholars as the most valuable study of Faulkner's fiction, Cleanth Brooks's William Faulkner: The Yoknapatawpha Country explores the Mississippi writer's fictional county and the commanding role it played in so much of his work. Brooks shows that Faulkner's strong attachment to his region, with its rich particularity and deep sense of community, gave him a special vantage point from which to view the modern world.Books's consideration of such novels as Light in August, The Unvanquished, As I Lay Dying, and Intruder in the Dust shows the ways in which Faulkner used Yoknapatawpha County to examine the characteristic themes of the twentieth century. Contending that a complete understanding of Faulkner's writing cannot be had without a thorough grasp of fictional detail, Brooks gives careful attention to ""what happens"" in the Yoknapatawpha novels. He also includes useful genealogies of Faulkner's fictional clans and a character index.

Great book to read before tackling Faulkner. Wonderful insight to probably the best American author of the 20th century. Brooks' eye opening summaries and balanced explanations of Faulkner's style and themes remains the defining guide to Faulkner's works.
Highly recommend the Brooks book to anyone wishing to better understand the depth and meaning of Faulkner's great writing legacy.
