Family Ties and National Identity: a Study of Faulkner's Later Novels

About This Novel

Within the framework of novel narrative theory, this book borrows social and historical criticism, selects the late works of modern American writer William Faulkner (1942-1962) as the research object, analyzes the theme of southern family changes and the formal characteristics of romance, and identifies the symbolic meaning and historical metaphor behind the character's national identity mechanism. Faulkner's creations during this period placed social ideals in the middle zone between southern history and real life, profoundly revealed the heterogeneity of southern families, and used an optimistic tone to describe the positive significance of mixed race to the family's vitality. This book breaks through the binary interpretation paradigm of black and white races and rich and poor classes. Through the integration of the characters' time perspective, it explores the ideal social vision vaguely constructed by the writer through his persistent look back on the past of the South, and explores the utopian color implicit in the work.
