SynopsisThis collection of essays provides a window on Faulkner's work by concentrating on one aspect of it - his use of clans to chronicle the decay of the post-Civil-War South. It records the history of criticism on the McCaslins and their related family lines (Beauchamp, Edmonds and Priest) which figure in novels such as Go Down, Moses and Intruder in the Dust. The book considers the raw materials - newspaper extracts and court records - used by Faulkner to construct his accounts, and includes a genealogy of the families and photographs that show some of the original people and places on which Faulkner based his characters and situations.
