The Sound and The Fury

William Faulkner was born in 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi, to a prominent Southern family. A number of his ancestors were involved in the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, and the Reconstruction, and were part of the local railroad industry and political scene. Faulkner showed signs of artistic talent from a young age, but became bored with his classes and never finished high school.

Faulkner grew up in the town of Oxford, Mississippi, and eventually returned there in his later years and purchased his famous estate, Rowan Oak. Oxford and the surrounding area were Faulkner’s inspiration for the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, and its town of Jefferson. These locales became the setting for a number of his works. Faulkner’s “Yoknapatawpha novels” include The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Light in August (1932), Absalom, Absalom! (1936), The Hamlet (1940), and Go Down, Moses (1942), and they feature some of the same characters and locations.

Faulkner was particularly interested in the decline of the Deep South after the Civil War. Many of his novels explore the deterioration of the Southern aristocracy after the destruction of its wealth and way of life during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Faulkner populates Yoknapatawpha County with the skeletons of old mansions and the ghosts of great men, patriarchs and generals from the past whose aristocratic families fail to live up to their historical greatness. Beneath the shadow of past grandeur, these families attempt to cling to old Southern values, codes, and myths that are corrupted and out of place in the reality of the modern world. The families in Faulkner’s novels are rife with failed sons, disgraced daughters, and smoldering resentments between whites and blacks in the aftermath of African-American slavery.

Faulkner’s reputation as one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century is largely due to his highly experimental style. Faulkner was a pioneer in literary modernism, dramatically diverging from the forms and structures traditionally used in novels before his time. Faulkner often employs stream of consciousness narrative, discards any notion of chronological order, uses multiple narrators, shifts between the present and past tense, and tends toward impossibly long and complex sentences. Not surprisingly, these stylistic innovations make some of Faulkner’s novels incredibly challenging to the reader. However, these bold innovations paved the way for countless future writers to continue to experiment with the possibilities of the English language. For his efforts, Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949. He died in Mississippi in 1962.

First published in 1929, The Sound and the Fury is recognized as one of the most successfully innovative and experimental American novels of its time, not to mention one of the most challenging to interpret. The novel concerns the downfall of the Compsons, who have been a prominent family in Jefferson, Mississippi, since before the Civil War. Faulkner represents the human experience by portraying events and images subjectively, through several different characters’ respective memories of childhood. The novel’s stream of consciousness style is frequently very opaque, as events are often deliberately obscured and narrated out of order. Despite its formidable complexity, The Sound and the Fury is an overpowering and deeply moving novel. It is generally regarded as Faulkner’s most important and remarkable literary work.

读后感

小说名字取自《麦克白》第五幕第五场,“人生如痴人说梦,充满着喧哗与骚动,却没有任何意义。”( “Life ... is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.) “傻瓜”(idiot)的概念,在这里却值得玩味。原本第一章的叙述者班吉(Benjam...

福克纳的《喧哗与骚动》用来考验耐心和智力倒是不错。尤其第一章——“1928年4月7日”,迷宫似的文体,有点让人找不着北。如果没有①②③的提示,可能影响理解,当然无视①②③也行,不过这样一来,就得多花时间,比如回过头,带着疑问寻找不知断裂在何处的某个情节的“线头”...

威廉。福克纳的长篇小说《喧哗与骚动》,用我通常赞赏的口吻说,是“有巨大的信息含量”的小说。此前,对于福克纳,只闻其声,未读其作。只是知道他是二十世纪最有影响力的大家。我在图书馆某个阴暗角落无意发现它的时候,赫然发现这本书收集在《二十世纪外国文学丛书》的集子...

我之前说过这本书真是作者、读者和译者都辛苦的小说,阅读难度不小。 不过期末美国文学论文刚好研究是这书的叙事技巧,查了蛮多资料看了好多文献,就把其中有助于一般读者理解小说的部分摘出来翻译并解释一下吧。 1. 喧哗与骚动(the sound and the fury)书名来源于莎翁戏...
