Faulkner's World

This memorable collection of black-and-white photographs focuses on William Faulkner`s homeland, which his great corpus of fiction transformed into Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi. Martin J. Dain photographed Faulkner country during the last two years of the author`s life (1961-62). His images of Yoknapatawpha evoke the wonderful spirit and exactitude of the land and the people Faulkner wrote about. It was the photographer`s reverence for the writings of the Nobel Prize-winning author that stimulated him to travel to Mississippi with his camera. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
