Rendition To Books Snopes (The Snopes Trilogy #1-3)

Here, published in a single volume as Faulkner always hoped they would be, are the three novels that comprise the famous Snopes trilogy, a saga that stands as perhaps the greatest feat of Faulkner's imagination. The Hamlet, the first book of the series chronicling the advent and rise of the grasping Snopes family in mythical Yoknapatawpha County, is a work that Cleanth Brooks called "one of the richest novels in the Faulkner canon." It recounts how the wily, cunning Flem Snopes dominates the rural community of Frenchman's Bend - and claims the voluptuous Eula Varner as his bride. The Town, the second novel, records Flem's ruthless struggle to take over the county seat of Jefferson, Mississippi. Finally, The Mansion tells of Mink Snopes, whose archaic sense of honor brings about the downfall of his cousin Flem. "For all his concerns with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man," noted Ralph Ellison. "Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for the greatness of our classics."

Commentary About Books Snopes (The Snopes Trilogy #1-3)

UPDATE:I have finished all three books in the trilogy - The Hamlet, The Town, and The Mansion. What a juicy, compelling, revealing, intricate, and layered masterpiece this Snopes trilogy is. It is almost as if each story and each recalling is wrapped around the preceding story, as each book is wrapped around the preceding book -- The Hamlet being the starting thread, then The Town is wrapped around The Hamlet, then The Mansion is wrapped around The Town... until this sphere, this wondrous yarn

Faulkner remains an enigma to many, even to students of 20th Century American Literature. I struggled most of my younger days with Faulkner, knowing he was an accalimed, Nobel Laureate, but feeling like a tourist in a strange land. After a bout with him in a HS English class I left with the feeling Id just witnessed something significant but impenetrable. College level courses shed no light on the density and at times obtuseness of his prose. I heard glowing praise of his work but sensed even

What a wonderful 3 weeks I have just spent in Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County. I feel like a resident there who sees these characters walk the streets of Frenchman's Bend and Jefferson every day. This is Faulkner's genius, I think; to put you "there" with dialogue and descriptions in real time. Gavin Stevens and V.K. Ratliffe are 2 of my very favorite fictional characters in literature. And Wallstreet Panic Snopes is the best name ever. I leave it up to scholars to discuss symbolism and

What would later be known as the Snopes trilogy, chronicles the rise of the Snopes family which represent to Faulkner all that is greedy, white trash, cunning and terrible about the rise of ruthless country-come-to-town folks in the modern south. The Hamlet is loosely about the rise of Flem Snopes the family's patriarch who drags his family from the poverty and darkness of the deep woods and into economic dominance of the small village of Frenchman's Bend. As with many Fualkner novels, the main

Current research question -- when Faulkner writes about the Snopeses in fancy language, is he only making fun of them? Or something else?

Finished The Hamlet on July 26, 2006. I finished The Town on February 6, 2007. Completed The Mansion on February 23, 2007.

Faulkner tells the story of the rise of the Snopes family through three novels,"The Hamlet"; "The Town"; and "The Mansion." It is a stunning cycle of stories depicting the decay of the south as it is overtaken by new social values at odds with the past.At times the story is told by an apparent omniscient narrator. At others it is solely told from the perspective of specific voices, especially the attorney Gavin Stevens, his nephew Chick Mallison, and V.K. Ratkliff, a travelling salesman, vending
