 H-Net Review: Louis W. Mazzari on Faulkner's County: The Historical Roots of Yoknapatawpha
Doyle looks at the war ceremonies observed in Lafayette County, as throughout the South, as an anthropologist would, and he describes rituals, wrapped in the flag, that placed women in a central role, providing purpose to the Confederate soldier.
But he also follows the development in Lafayette County of sharecropping, documenting the way it forced most farmers, fl and white, to cede their independence in free-market peonage.
Even without it, though, Doyle's emphasis on the dynamic character of Lafayette County's history, built on Faulkner's vivid and acute sense of the past, is a well-crafted synthesis of broad Southern themes in a local social history.
