William Faulkner: Life
built 614 days ago
With The Sound and the Fury (1929), his first masterwork, Faulkner gained recognition as a writer. Its title originated from the famous lines in Shakespeare's play Macbeth: "Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing."

Faulkner's writing is enriched by the Southern vernacular speech, sometimes melodious, sometimes comic or pathetic. The South's strong tradition of oral history and storytelling is captured in the Works Progress Administration Federal Writers Project interviews, found online in American Life Histories, 1936-1940.
