William Faulkner is remembered for novels and short stories that explore the intricate culture and tragic legacy of the American South.

This book is a complete reference to his life, writings, and characters, as well as the people, events and ideas that influenced him as a person and a writer. More than 1500 cross-referenced entries include: synopses of Faulkner's fiction, poetry and non-fiction, with information on background, critical reception, and adaptions; descriptions of characters in his fiction; details of his friends, family, colleagues, and critics; places, real and fictional, important to Faulkner's life and literary development, from Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi to Hollywood; and ideas and events that influenced his life and works, including race, time, the Civil War, and World War I.
